Steps

  1. Bring a pot of hot salted tap water to the boil. Cook rice & peas. Cook rice in pot of boiling water for 18-20 minutes, until tender. Add peas for final 3 minutes of cook time. Drain and return to pot. Keep warm.

Add pumpkin, carrot, makrut lime leaf, garlic, ginger and yellow curry paste (to taste). Cook, stirring for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
