• In a medium saucepan, add the water and bring to the boil. • Add basmati rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• While the rice is cooking, thinly slice capsicum. Cut carrot into thirds. Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook prawns, tossing, until pink and starting to curl up, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes.
• Reduce frying pan heat to medium-high, then add a drizzle of olive oil and cook capsicum and carrot until just tender, 5-6 minutes. • Add tomato paste (see ingredients) and Mumbai Spice Blend and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add chicken-style stock powder, coconut milk, the honey and a splash of water. Simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, 3-4 minutes. • Stir in baby leaves until just wilted, 1 minute. Season to taste.
• Tear coriander leaves. • Divide basmati rice between bowls. Top with mild coconut chicken, prawns and carrot curry. • Garnish with coriander and crushed peanuts to serve. Enjoy!
