Ingredients
  

For the Curry
  • 2 cups Fresh Pumpkin diced; butternut squash is a great substitute
  • 1 can (15 oz) Chickpeas rinsed; lentils can be used instead
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk full-fat; cashew cream is a nut-free alternative
  • 1 medium Onion finely chopped; shallots can offer a gentler taste
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced; garlic powder can substitute
  • 1 inch Ginger grated; ground ginger is an acceptable fallback
  • 2 teaspoon Curry Powder key flavor agent, can customize with spices
  • 2 cups Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth or chicken broth if not vegetarian
  • Salt and Pepper adjust to taste

Equipment

  • Large Pot

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it's translucent.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in 2 teaspoons of curry powder, toasting the spices for about 1 minute.
  4. Add the diced fresh pumpkin and pour in 2 cups of low-sodium vegetable broth. Increase heat to a gentle simmer and cover.
  5. Once the pumpkin is soft, stir in the rinsed chickpeas and add 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk, simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
  6. Using an immersion blender, blend the curry until you achieve a smooth yet slightly chunky texture.
  7. Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot with rice or bread.
