Pumpkin Curry recipe
Curry dishes aren't always sharp and spicy. Sometimes they are soft, sweet, and soothing -- as is the case with this coconut pumpkin curry recipe.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound skinless chicken breasts, cut into ½-inch cubes
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled, minced
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon turmeric
¼ teaspoon cayenne
1 ½ pound pumpkin, peeled, seeded, cubed
1 ½ cups chicken broth
½ cup coconut milk
Directions:
1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned and cooked through, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
2. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to same skillet and heat over medium. Add onion, garlic, and ginger; cook until golden, 3 minutes, stirring. Add coriander, cumin, sugar, salt, turmeric, and cayenne; cook until fragrant, 1 minute, stirring. Add pumpkin and stir to coat with spices.
3. Add broth, coconut milk, and reserved chicken; bring to a boil over high, cover, and reduce to a simmer. Cook 20 minutes, until pumpkin is softened and milk has thickened. Serve warm over rice.
