Cozy Pumpkin Curry for Winter Nights

Today’s Inspiration: A Cozy Winter Evening

As the weather starts to cool down and the days get shorter, I find myself craving warm, comforting dishes to cozy up with at home. Today, I’m excited to share with you a unique twist on a classic comfort food that is perfect for a chilly winter evening.

Ingredients:

• canned pumpkin (400g)
• coconut milk (200ml)
• curry powder (10g)
• chickpeas, drained and rinsed (250g)
• fresh ginger, grated (20g)
• spinach (150g)
• cooked quinoa (300g)

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• wooden spoon
• grater
• knife

I start by heating a saucepan over medium heat and add the canned pumpkin, coconut milk, curry powder, chickpeas, and freshly grated ginger. I let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes until the flavors meld together and the chickpeas are heated through.

Next, I stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts, creating a vibrant green color and adding a pop of freshness to the dish. I then gently fold in the cooked quinoa, ensuring it is evenly coated with the creamy pumpkin sauce.

Once everything is well combined, I remove the pan from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to fully develop. The aroma of the warm spices and earthy pumpkin fills my kitchen, creating a cozy atmosphere that’s perfect for a winter evening.

Serving:

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1260g, with about 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 315g. The approximate calorie count per serving is 350 calories.

One clever tip to make this dish even more delicious is to sprinkle some toasted pumpkin seeds on top before serving. The crunchiness adds a nice texture contrast to the creamy curry, taking it to the next level.

I highly recommend giving this cozy pumpkin curry with quinoa a try, especially on a cold winter night. Feel free to customize it with your favorite veggies or protein – make it your own and enjoy every comforting bite!
