Pumpkin Coconut Curry Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the onions, garlic and curry powder and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes.
• Combine the onion mixture, pumpkin puree and chicken stock in a blender until smooth.
• Transfer the soup to a large pot, whisk in the coconut milk and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it warmed through, about 10 minutes. Taste the soup and season with the salt and pepper.
• Serve the soup in bowls. Garnish with the sour cream and chopped pumpkin seeds. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat the coconut oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the onions and garlic; cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in the vegetable broth, curry powder, salt, coriander, and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir until the mixture comes to a gentle boil, about 10 minutes. Cover, and boil 15 to 20 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Whisk in the pumpkin and coconut milk, and cook another 5 minutes.
• Pour the soup into a blender, filling only half way and working in batches if necessary; process until smooth. Return to a pot, and reheat briefly over medium heat before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in onion, jalapeño and bay leaf. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is golden on the edges, about 8 minutes.
• Add ginger and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in garam masala, cumin and turmeric; cook for an additional 30 seconds.
• Stir in chickpeas, coconut milk, pumpkin, 1/2 cup water and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a simmer and continue to simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let the flavors meld. (Add more water if it starts to look too thick.) Stir in cilantro and lime juice to taste. Taste and add more salt if necessary.
• Serve over rice or couscous if you like, and top with more cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
