INSTRUCTIONS
1 Remove a good handful of coriander leaves from the stalks - about a
quarter - and reserve. Roughly chop the rest, including the stalks and
place in a mini blender with the shallots and garlic. Whiz to a paste.
2 Heat a large wok or heavy-based frying pan. Add the oil and stir-fry the
curry paste for a minute on a high heat.
3 Add the kaffir lime leaves, 300ml/1/2 pint coconut milk and coriander
paste, stirring well to combine. Cook for two minutes, add the chicken
stock and boil for 8-10 minutes or until the natural oils start to appear
on the surface. Season generously.
4 Stir in the chicken and pumpkin, reduce the heat and simmer for 15
minutes until the chicken is tender and the sauce has reduced with the oils
clearly visible on the surface.
5 Add the remaining coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice and rind and
sugar, simmer and cook for another five minutes.
6 Add the reserved coriander leaves and basil and cook for another minute
or two. Serve hot with bowls of the rice and lime wedges.
