There are so many varieties of curries — they can be hot and spicy, mild but complex, simple, and more. This pumpkin curry is an easy dish to throw together anytime. It is a curry par excellence during this chilly time of the year, where tender pumpkin is scented with a very basic mixture of spices and manages a naturally creamy texture without the need to add coconut milk or cream. It is a very comforting dish, which when served with basmati rice or cauliflower rice, will warm you up and keep you full.
