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"!

3 green chilies, deseeded, sliced thinly
12 fresh curry leaves
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds (optional)
2 onions, finely chopped

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

Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes or until it has softened; stir in the tomatoes, coconut milk and pumpkin; bring to a simmer and cook over a medium heat for 15 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender.
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 richer flavor, use canned coconut milk instead of water.
Add some chopped cilantro or mint leaves at the end of cooking for a fresh flavor.
If you don't have pumpkin, you can use sweet potato or butternut squash instead.
To make the curry spicier, add some chopped green chilies or red chili powder.
Serve the curry with rice, quinoa, or naan bread.
