Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 teaspoons grated gingerroot
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
500 g pumpkin, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons hot curry paste
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 dried red chilies
300 ml vegetable stock
400 g chickpeas, drained
1 large under ripe banana
1 tablespoon chopped coriander

Steps:

Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a pan and fry the ginger, garlic, onion and ground spices over a medium heat for 5 minutes.
Toss the pumpkin in the curry paste and set aside.
Add the chillies, tomatoes and stock to the pan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile heat the rest of the oil and fry the pumpkin for 5 minutes.
Add the pumpkin to the stock pan along with the chickpeas. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes until the pumpkin is tender.
Slice the banana and add to the curry and cook for a further 5 minutes Stir through the coriander and serve.

Tips:

Look for pumpkin that is bright orange in color and heavy for its size. Avoid pumpkins with blemishes or soft spots.
When peeling and cutting the pumpkin, be careful not to cut yourself. A sharp knife and a steady hand are essential.
If you don't have a pumpkin spice blend, you can make your own by combining 1 teaspoon each of ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg.
Use low-sodium vegetable broth to keep the curry from becoming too salty.
Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of spices to your taste. If you like things spicy, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper.
Serve the curry over rice, quinoa, or your favorite grain. You can also serve it with a side of naan bread or yogurt.

This pumpkin and chickpea curry is a delicious and nutritious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy curry recipe, give this one a try.
