Two weeks ago we started ordering food from a group of local farmers, who deliver organically grown food. This week we got a huge pumpkin so I started searching the internet for ideas of what to do with it. Here is the first meal that came out of it: a potato-pumpkin curry. Matt and I agreed, it's very yummy and will be served again in the future.
For 2 people:
300-400g of potatoes (cut in cubes)
300-400g of pumpkin (cut in cubes)
1 can of coconut milk
200ml vegetable broth
1 onion
1 piece of ginger (about the size of a walnut), cut into small bits
1 clove of garlic (crushed)
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper
0.5 teasp. of coriander
0.5 teasp of cumin
0.5 teasp of cayenne pepper
1 teasp. of curry powder
2-3 tablesp. of oil
Add spices to pan and to briefly heat them up. Add oil, garlic, ginger and onion. Wait until onion becomes soft, then add potato and pumpkin cubes. After about 5-10 min, add vegetable broth and bay leaf. Let it simmer for about 20min until potatoes and pumkin are soft.
Add coconut milk and salt/pepper as needed and let it simmer a little longer.
Serve with rice or naan.
