  • 400ml coconut milk

  • 750ml chicken stock

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a casserole dish. Then add the onion and cook until softened.

  2. Add the garlic, chillis and ginger, and cook for a further 2 minutes.

  3. Stir in the coconut cream with the stock and some seasoning, keeping an eye on the heat so it doesn’t start to boil.

  4. Add the pumpkin, potato, and stalks of the coriander, then simmer until the pumpkin and potatoes are tender. 

  5. Next, add the prawns and the spinach, cooking gently until the prawns are opaque (this should take about 3 minutes).

  6. Stir in the lime juice, sugar and fish sauce, tasting the stew to determine if it needs more fish sauce or lime juice.

  7. Add the chopped coriander leaves and stir through.

  8. Serve with basmati rice and a wedge of lime.
