Aromatic Thai Pumpkin Curry with red curry paste, garlic, ginger, lemon grass, lime leaves in a lush creamy coconut sauce.

Fumble into something divine. And, relish each moment. It’s a dish that will leave you wanting more.

This dish will eviscerate your belief that vegan food can’t be scrummy.

When to Make This Recipe:

Make this:

  • When you’re seeking a comforting and nourishing dish to warm the soul on a chilly night
  • When autumnal pumpkins are in season and you want to create a hearty and flavourful curry that’s perfect for a cosy night in

What Inspired Me:

This recipe was born out of a desire to recreate the flavours of Thai cuisine without the use of fish sauce – a game-changer for vegan cooks. I wanted to create a dish that would transport me to the streets of Bangkok, and this Thai Pumpkin Curry did just that.

  • Vegan and paleo-friendly, this curry is perfect for those following a plant-based diet
  • Rich and creamy coconut sauce with a hint of spice and freshness from the lemongrass and lime leaves
  • Perfect for a comforting and nourishing meal on a chilly night

Ingredients

  • 2 red birds eye chillies – one sliced
  • 2 inches fresh lemon grass
  • ½ inch ginger
  • 5 kaffir lime leaves
  • 400ml coconut milk, rich and creamy
  • 1tsp cumin, powder
  • 500g pumpkin, peeled and diced
  • 1tsp white wine vinegar
  • ½ lime, squeezed
  • 1tbs date syrup

Instructions

  1. To make the curry paste, place one of the red chillies, the lemon grass, ginger and lime leaves in a blender and combine until finely chopped. Place in a bowl with cumin and white wine vinegar and combine well.
  2. In a pan, add 50ml of coconut milk to the boil and add the curry paste. Add the chopped pumpkin and cook until tender. This should be about 20 minutes. I prefer to have it slightly crunchy.
  3. Add the remaining coconut milk and season with the limejuice and date syrup. Cook for a further three to four minutes.
  4. Switch off the heat and add the remaining sliced chilli and serve.
