Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add the diced kabocha pumpkin and red bell pepper to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
-
Stir in the curry powder, ground turmeric, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Let the spices toast for a minute to release their flavors.
-
Pour in the coconut milk and soy sauce, then add the grated ginger. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything well to combine.
-
Reduce the heat to low and let the curry simmer gently for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and the flavors have melded together beautifully.
-
Check the seasoning and adjust with additional salt or spices if needed. If the curry is too thick, you can add a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.
-
Once ready, remove the pot from the heat. Serve the Kabocha Pumpkin Curry hot over a bed of cooked rice or with warm naan bread. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
