method
Peel and chop your pumpkin up into bite-sized chunks.
Preheat your oven to 200C.
Finely dice your onion, garlic, chilli and ginger. Add to a large pan over a medium heat with a glug of oil. Stir fry until softened.
Add in the spices and stir fry for a few more minutes. Add in a splash of water if it needs it.
Pour in the pumpkin and coat with spices. Next add the tomatoes and coconut milk. Refill one of the tins with water and pour in. Stir and bring to a boil.
Cover with lid and cook in the oven for 30-40 minutes, until the pumpkin is roasted. In the last 10 minutes, add the chickpeas to the curry and season with salt and pepper. Return to the oven with the lid off.
Meanwhile, chop up the coriander and put some rice on to cook.
When everything is ready, serve with rice, coriander, a squeeze of lime or lemon juice and some mango chutney.
notes
If you can’t find any pumpkin, switch it out for butternut squash, equally delicious!
Make sure to be careful when peeling the pumpkin as the skin can be tough!
Spinach would be a great addition to this dish for some greens!
