Why This Recipe Works

Inspired by the flavors of Kerala, this gentle curry brings together sweet roasted pumpkin and earthy beans in a creamy coconut broth. It is a soothing, aromatic dish that highlights the natural sweetness of autumn squashes.


Instructions

1

Toss the pumpkin crescents with oil, garam masala, salt, and pepper until well coated, then roast in a hot oven until soft and tender to the touch.

2

Heat oil in a lidded pan and fry mustard seeds until they pop, then add the chiles and onion, cooking until the onion becomes soft and golden.

3

Stir in the garlic, followed by the drained beans and tomatoes, cooking until the tomatoes soften and start to look jammy at the edges.

4

Stir in the turmeric, extra pepper, salt, and coconut milk, then gently add the roasted pumpkin and simmer under a lid until everything is heated through.

5

For a fragrant finish, crackle curry leaves in hot oil in a separate pan until they are translucent and pour the sizzling oil directly over the curry.
