BALINESE PUMPKIN CURRY (KARE WALUH)
This delicious recipe was one that we were taught in a Balinese cooking class at Casa Luna Cooking School last week. It's so easy to make and really flavoursome. We're not massive fans of really spicy food so this dish was perfect as it's not too hot. Most of the ingredients are readily available in the UK, but incase you struggle to get hold of any we've added substitutes which should work just as well. Hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- Start by making the spice paste. In Indonesian cooking this is done using a mortar, but an easier and quicker alternative is to use the food processor. Blitz all the ingredients until well combined into a golden yellow paste flecked with chilli and tomato skin.
- Heat the coconut oil in a wok over a medium heat and fry the spice paste for 30 seconds. Add the salam leaves (or bay leaf), lemongrass and lime leaves (or zest) and toss for 30 seconds.
- Add the chopped pumpkin to the wok and fry for 1 minute, then add the water and simmer until the pumpkin has softened and cooked.
- Add the coconut milk and fried shallots and gently simmer for 1 minute, until slightly thickened then serve with steamed rice.

- Cut the pumpkin into small pieces so that it cooks evenly. You can also peel the pumpkin, but this is not necessary.
- Use a variety of spices to create a flavorful curry. Common spices used in Balinese pumpkin curry include turmeric, cumin, coriander, fenugreek, and chili powder.
- Simmer the curry for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. You can also cook the curry for longer if you like a thicker, more flavorful sauce.
- Serve the curry with rice, noodles, or bread.
