How to Make Pumpkin Banana And Chickpea Curry

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss the cubed pumpkin with 2 tbsp curry paste, ensuring even coating. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until slightly tender.
  2. While pumpkin roasts, heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, red pepper, and ginger. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until softened.
  3. Stir in ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  4. Add pureed tomatoes, chilies (if using), and vegetable stock to the pan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes.
  5. Add the roasted pumpkin and chickpeas to the tomato sauce. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until pumpkin is very tender.
  6. Stir in the sliced banana during the last 5 minutes of cooking time.
  7. Stir in chopped cilantro or parsley and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts.
  8. Serve hot with rice and lentils (optional). Serves 3-4.
