Pumpkin curry recipe

1. 1

   To make the curry, place the pumpkin into a clay pot or heavy-based saucepan, add the rest of the curry ingredients and mix to combine.

2. 2

   There should be just enough coconut milk and cream to cover the pumpkin pieces.

3. 3

   Bring to the boil, then cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1012 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender, stirring the curry occasionally so the coconut milk does not split.

4. 4

   Remove from the heat and set aside.

5. 5

   For tempering, heat the coconut oil in a small wok or frying pan over medium heat and add the mustard seeds.

6. 6

   When the seeds start to pop, add the shallots and curry leaves and cook for 35 minutes, or until the shallots are dark brown and starting to crisp a little.

7. 7

   Remove from the heat and strain through a sieve.

8. 8

   Stir half of the tempered mixture into the curry and garnish with the remaining mixture.

9. 9

   Serve with pol roti and rice.
