Instructions

Stay Awake

1 In a large saucepan, sauté onion, garlic and spices in oil.

2 Add coconut milk and chopped pumpkin. Bring to the boil and simmer until pumpkin is tender and sauce is reduced.

3 Serve with rice and accompaniments. Traditional curry accompaniments include chutney, coconut, sliced banana and poppadums.

4 Style it up with a sprinkle of fresh chopped coriander and some cashew nuts or eat it as is, with rice or rolled in flatbread.

Variations

Add chopped nuts for some ‘scrunch’ if you like or include chicken or seafood.
If you have them, cooked chickpeas will add interesting texture and round out the protein values in this dish.

HFG tip

Curry paste can be used in place of dry spices in this dish. Freeze small quantities of curry paste in plastic wrap to add Indian zing to soups, vegetable dishes and dips.
