Directions

Combine the ingredients for the chicken marinade. Add the chicken thighs, and leave to marinade for at least 1 hour
Wash the rice under running water until the water runs clear. Soak in cold water for at least an hour, then drain well.
Heat the coconut oil in the shallow casserole on medium high heat. Shake any excess marinade off the chicken and cook the chicken on both sides- about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate to rest.
Add the garlic, ginger, onion & capsicum, season with salt & pepper and cook for 4 minutes until softened.
Add in the rice and stir to coat, then add the coconut milk, chicken broth, curry powder and turmeric.
Gently combine and bring to a simmer, then place the chicken on top and scatter over with the cashews.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Leave undisturbed for 20 minutes (don’t be tempted to peek!), then check that the liquid has absorbed.
Top with chopped coriander and spring onions, squeeze over with lime juice and serve.
