Vegan pumpkin curry
Easy one-pot vegan pumpkin curry served with fluffy white rice.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion diced
- 1 tablespoon ginger grated
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 small chillis deseeded and diced
- 1 stalk lemongrass
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 can (400 ml) light coconut milk
- 2 cups pumpkin chopped
- 1 sweet potato chopped
- 1 cup broccoli cut into florets
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pot, and over medium heat saute the chopped onion until soft and translucent.
- Add grated ginger, minced garlic, and chill. Bash a lemongrass stalk with the back of your knife and tie it into a knot. Throw it in the pot, and cook everything for a minute or until the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the spices, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and salt. And give everything a stir.
- Add coconut milk and water to the pot, followed by pumpkin and sweet potato. Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer (not boil) until the veggies are fork-tender.
- Have a little taste and adjust seasonings to your preference.
- Add the broccoli florets to the pot, cover with sauce and cook for a couple of minutes (you don't want the broccoli to become mushy). Serve over white rice.
Notes
- To reduce the amount of calories in this dish, and to make it low fat, substitute the light coconut milk with almond milk.
- You can add baby spinach leaves or chopped kale at the end.
- To cook the rice, soak it in cold water for 15-20 minutes then rinse until the water is clear. Add the rice to a pot, and add salted water that covers the rice by 1 inch. Cover with the lid and bring to a boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to the minimum and cook until the water is absorbed. Then remove from heat. Fluff it with a fork and serve.
- The recommended portion of rice per person is 70 grams.
