Easy Indian-Style Pumpkin Curry image

This is a popular dish in Kerala, South India. It's made during the festivals and is an extremely nutritious and tasty preparation rich in antioxidants and vitamins. What's vital to the dish, however, is the process of frying the coconut in the end to season the dish. This imparts a unique flavor and aroma to this curry.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 cups cubed fresh pumpkin
2 cups water, or as needed
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
salt to taste
½ cup grated coconut
3 dried red chile peppers
1 green chile pepper
2 tablespoons water, or as needed
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon coconut oil, divided
2 dried red chile peppers
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon skinned split black lentils (urad dal)
1 tablespoon grated coconut
6 fresh curry leaves, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Put pumpkin into a large pot. Pour 2 cups water over the pumpkin so the cubes are floating. Season pumpkin and water with turmeric and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the pumpkin is tender yet firm enough to retain shape, about 15 minutes.
  • Grind 1/2 cup coconut, 3 red chile peppers, green chile pepper, 2 tablespoons water, and cumin seeds in a food processor until you have a paste; stir into the pumpkin mixture and bring again to a boil. Cook until the liquid has thickened and coats the pumpkin cubes, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour the curry into a large serving bowl.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons coconut oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Cook 2 dried red chile peppers, mustard seeds, and black lentils in hot oil until they sputter, 2 to 3 minutes; pour over curry.
  • Heat remaining teaspoon coconut oil in the skillet. Fry 1 tablespoon coconut in the hot oil until completely browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour atop the curry. Garnish dish with curry leaves.

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"!
