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 them until they become soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add Spices: Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and cayenne pepper. Cook the spices for 1 minute to release their flavors, stirring continuously to avoid burning.
  3. Add Pumpkin and Coconut Milk: Pour in the pumpkin puree and the can of coconut milk. Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Simmer the Curry: Reduce the heat to low-medium and let the curry simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld and the curry to thicken slightly.
  5. Season and Serve: Taste and season the curry with salt as desired. Serve the curry hot, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves for a vibrant finish.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for creamier texture and richer flavor.
  • If you prefer less heat, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper.
  • This curry pairs wonderfully with steamed basmati rice or warm naan bread.
  • For added protein, consider stirring in cooked chickpeas or paneer cubes.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
