Method
In a large heavy-based saucepan melt the coconut oil over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 4-6 minutes until soft and without colour and then add the chilli and garlic. Continue to cook for a minute and then add the curry powder and saffron and cook the spices for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the peppers, pumpkin and tomato and then tip in the stock. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the pumpkin is soft. Stir in the coconut milk, molasses and spinach and simmer until the spinach has wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Ladle into bowls, sprinkle with chopped coriander and serve.
