Instructions
Begin by thoroughly washing and peeling the pumpkin. Cut it into bite-sized cubes, ensuring they’re all roughly the same size for even cooking.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat a generous drizzle of oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until they’re translucent and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
Next, add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot, and continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Introduce the aromatic spices to the mix – cumin, coriander, turmeric, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (if you’re feeling adventurous). Stir the spices into the onion-garlic mixture and let them toast for 1-2 minutes, until their aroma is released.
Carefully add the diced pumpkin to the pot, making sure to coat each piece evenly with the spiced onion mixture. Pour in the coconut milk, chicken or vegetable broth, and a splash of lime juice. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the one-pot pumpkin curry simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the pumpkin is fork-tender and the flavors have melded together beautifully.
Once the pumpkin is cooked through, remove the lid and let the curry simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
Finally, stir in the chopped fresh cilantro (or your herb of choice) and season with salt and pepper to taste.
