preparation
Step 1: Preparing the Vegetables and Herbs
- Start by cutting the pumpkin into cubes. If you want to leave the skin on, make sure it is washed thoroughly. Otherwise you can peel the skin.
- Cut the red pepper into cubes.
- Take the lemongrass stem and gently crush it with the back of a knife to release the flavors.
- Rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under running water.
- Finely chop the onion, garlic and ginger.
Step 2: Fry the Onion, Garlic and Ginger
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and fry for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Step 3: Flavor with Herbs
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Stir the spices to taste (e.g. curry powder, turmeric, cumin) into the garlic and ginger and fry, stirring, for 30 seconds to release the aromas.
Step 4: Add Vegetables and Coconut Milk
- Add the diced pumpkin, bell pepper, crushed lemongrass stem, chickpeas, coconut milk and water to the pan. Stir everything well so that the ingredients combine.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Step 5: Prepare Rice
- While the curry is simmering, prepare rice or other grain of your choice according to package instructions.
Step 6: Simmer the Curry
- Simmer the curry, uncovered, over low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Step 7: Taste and Serve
- Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
- Serve the pumpkin curry over the cooked rice.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or coriander for a fresh touch.
