Step 5

Stir in evaporated milk, peanut butter, soy sauce and ¾ cup water. Bring to the boil.

Step 6

Stir in beans. Gently boil for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beans and pumpkin are tender and mixture has thickened.

Step 7

Stir in coriander. Serve with brown rice and lime wedges. Garnish with extra coriander sprigs, if desired.
