Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté these ingredients until they soften and become fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
  2. Add spices: Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and cayenne pepper. Cook the spices with the aromatics for about 1 minute to release their flavors and aromas.
  3. Combine pumpkin and coconut milk: Pour in the pumpkin puree and the can of coconut milk. Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine all the ingredients evenly.
  4. Simmer the curry: Allow the curry to simmer gently on low to medium heat for 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and let the flavors meld together. Adjust salt to taste during this stage.
  5. Serve: Once the curry has thickened slightly and the flavors are well blended, remove from heat. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves for a bright and fresh finish.

Notes

  • You can adjust the cayenne pepper quantity to control the curry’s spiciness.
  • If fresh pumpkin is available, you can substitute the canned pumpkin puree by roasting and pureeing fresh pumpkin.
  • For a richer flavor, consider using full-fat coconut milk.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed basmati rice or warm naan bread.
  • The curry can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
