For some reason I always wait till I'm specially remembering to increase my veggie intake to do this, but it is one of my all time favourite dishes and isn't nearly as complicated as it sounds.

SPINACH AND PUMPKIN CURRY

Spinach and Pumpkin Curry image

A vegetable curry which is far too spicy for me but which I believe many would enjoy. It's certainly full of nutrition. I found this recipe in a March 2005 issue of the magazine 'Fresh'. I've posted it here exactly as I found it. Although I have cooked such dishes, as a non-eater, I have no feel for them so am ill-equipped to modify them in any way, but I do hope that anyone trying this recipe will make it their own by adjusting it to meet their own taste preferences. And for a spot of culinary trivia: among the spices in this recipe is turmeric which - according to the notes accompanying the recipe - "has been called 'poor man's saffron' as it imparts a yellow colour at a fraction of the cost"!

12 fresh curry leaves
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds (optional)

400 ml light coconut milk
500 g butternut pumpkin, peeled, cut into chunks
1 bunch english spinach, trimmed
1 lime, juice of
fresh mint leaves, for garnish
1 cup yoghurt, natural yoghurt or 1 cup Greek yogurt, to top each serving bowl

Chop any large spinach leaves; add the lime juice and spinach to the curry and stir until the spinach leaves have just begun to wilt; serve on a bed of rice, topped with a dollop of yoghurt and mint leaves.

Tips:

For a smoother curry, blend the pumpkin and butter beans until they are completely smooth before adding them to the curry.
If you are using canned pumpkin, make sure to drain it well before adding it to the curry.
If you are using fresh spinach, wash it thoroughly and chop it finely before adding it to the curry.
Add more or less chili powder depending on your desired level of spiciness.
Serve the curry with rice, naan, or your favorite bread.
