Today’s Recipe: Spicy Pumpkin Coconut Curry

I’m excited to share this unique and flavorful recipe for Spicy Pumpkin Coconut Curry with you today. It’s a perfect dish to warm you up on a chilly autumn evening or to add a pop of spice to your dinner table. This recipe combines the sweet and earthy flavors of pumpkin with the rich creaminess of coconut milk, all brought together with a kick of spice for a truly delicious experience.

Ingredients:

  • 500g pumpkin, diced
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
  • 500ml vegetable broth
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Kitchen Tools:

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • large pot
  • wooden spoon
  • grater

To start, heat some oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger, stirring until fragrant. Next, add the red curry paste and cook for another minute to release its flavors.

Add the diced pumpkin to the pot and stir to coat it in the curry mixture. Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, then bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender.

Once the pumpkin is cooked through, add the drained chickpeas to the pot and stir to combine. Let the curry simmer for a few more minutes to warm up the chickpeas.

Finish the dish off by adding a squeeze of lime juice for a pop of freshness. Serve the Spicy Pumpkin Coconut Curry hot, garnished with fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.

This Spicy Pumpkin Coconut Curry weighs approximately 1600g once cooked and serves 4 people. Each serving is around 400g and contains an estimated 350 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to roast the pumpkin before adding it to the curry for an added depth of flavor and a slightly caramelized texture.

I hope you enjoy making this Spicy Pumpkin Coconut Curry at home and feel free to customize it with your favorite veggies or protein choices. It’s a versatile dish that’s sure to warm you up and satisfy your taste buds!
