Method
Step 1
Place the rice and 2 cups (500ml) water in a medium saucepan. Place over high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20-25 mins or until water is absorbed and rice is tender.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wok or large deep frying pan over medium heat. Add the cumin, garam masala, turmeric, ginger and half the chilli, if using, and cook, stirring, for 30 secs or until fragrant. Add the pumpkin, zucchini and capsicum and cook, stirring, for 2 mins until vegetables are well coated in spice mixture.
Step 3
Add the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, for 15 mins or until vegetables are tender.
Step 4
Add the squid, silverbeet and half the spring onion to the vegetable mixture and cook for 5 mins or until squid is cooked through and silverbeet wilts.
Step 5
Divide the rice among serving plates. Spoon over the curry. Top with coriander, almond, remaining spring onion, lime wedges and remaining chilli, if using, to serve.
