When the leaves start changing color, I always find myself reaching for cans of pumpkin puree to make this simple curry. It is a wonderful way to enjoy the season without feeling weighed down, and it comes together quickly for a busy weeknight dinner.

My favorite trick for this recipe is to add a handful of spinach right at the end of cooking. It adds a nice pop of color and extra goodness to every bowl you serve.

🧺 Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 can pumpkin puree
1 can full fat coconut milk
1 tablespoon red curry paste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 cups fresh baby spinach
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro for garnish

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2
Add the onion and cook until it is soft and translucent.
3
Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for about one minute until fragrant.
4
Whisk in the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, curry paste, and cumin until smooth.
5
Add the chickpeas and let the curry simmer gently for ten minutes.
6
Stir in the spinach and cook until it just wilts.
7
Season with salt and pepper, then serve warm over rice or with naan.

💡 Tips

This curry keeps beautifully in the fridge for up to three days. If you find it thickens too much while stored, just add a splash of water or vegetable broth when reheating on the stove.
