• to taste

Kitchen Tools:

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

I start by sautéing the chopped onion and minced garlic in coconut oil until they turn golden brown and fragrant. Then, I add in the diced pumpkin and stir in the curry powder, cumin, turmeric, and grated ginger, allowing the spices to coat the vegetables.

Next, I pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer. I let it cook on low heat for about 20 minutes until the pumpkin is tender and the flavors have melded together beautifully. At this point, I add in the cooked chickpeas for a boost of protein and texture.

The Pumpkin Curry is now ready to be served. The aroma of the warm spices fills the air, promising a truly comforting meal. Each bite is a harmonious blend of creamy coconut, sweet pumpkin, and aromatic curry spices, with a hint of warmth from the ginger and turmeric.

Serving:

This recipe yields approximately 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 400g. A serving of this Pumpkin Curry is about 350 calories, making it a satisfying and nourishing meal option for a chilly autumn evening.

One unusual tip I have for enhancing the flavors of this dish is to garnish each bowl with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes and a drizzle of lime juice right before serving. The tropical notes of the coconut and the acidity of the lime add a refreshing touch to the rich and comforting curry.
