Pumpkin Curry recipe anyone?
« on: October 11, 2009, 01:50:13 PM »
Hi all!

I am looking for a tried and true recipe for homemade pumpkin curry. I love the pumpkin curry they serve at thai restaurants made with coconut milk, but am not exactly sure how to get the right spices.

Has anyone tried this at home? If so, what have you found that works well?
Thanks!

Give this one a try....

Curry Pumpkin Soup with Caramelized Onions
Serves 4

1 butternut squash
4 ½ tbsp olive oil, divided
2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
¼ cup maple syrup
1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
½ tsp curry powder
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
1 large apple, peeled, cored and diced
3 cups almond milk
sea salt, to taste pinch
black pepper, to taste pinch

1)     Pre heat at 375.  Cut butternut squash in half.  Brush 1/2 tbsp of olive oil on cut sides.  Place squash face down on baking sheet.  Cook for 30 min and allow to cool.
2)     In a large skillet over medium-high, combine 2 tbsp of the olive oil and half of the onions. Sauté until the onions are very soft and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
3)     Add the maple syrup and ginger, then reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking, stirring often, until the onions are thick and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
4)     Heat a large pot over medium-high; combine the remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil, the remaining onion, curry powder, red pepper flakes and apple.  Sauté until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
5)     Mix in the pumpkin and milk.  Puree with immersion blender until smooth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
6)     Season with salt and pepper.
7)     To serve, ladle the soup into bowls, and then top each serving with caramelized onions.

I really like this one even though it doesn't have coconut milk... it does have you make your own curry flavor which you can adjust to your preference!

Pumpkin and Red Lentil Curry
Yield: 6 servings

   1  teaspoon  ground coriander
   3/4  teaspoon  ground turmeric
   1/4  teaspoon  ground red pepper

   1  small jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
   4  cups  organic vegetable broth
   1  (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
   1  cup  dried small red lentils
   1/4  teaspoon  salt
   1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
   1/4  cup  chopped fresh cilantro
   6  lime wedges
