Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml of salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
MEANWHILE…
Rinse the spinach and the coriander. Roughly shred the spinach and pick the coriander. Peel and grate the garlic. Peel and roughly slice ½ the onion. Drain and roughly slice the pickled peppers.

Return the pot to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the sliced onion and fry until soft, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the curry paste (to taste) and the grated garlic. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the coconut cream and 100ml of water. Reduce the heat and simmer until slightly reduced, 8-10 minutes.
FINISH UP
