Hi, Ray here again.
Once again it’s time to test one of the great curry recipes on the Curry Focus website.
I scanned the recipe lists and decided to make the Pumpkin Curry for two reasons. First, it seemed like a very simple recipe to follow. Second, I thought it was unusual in that it contained coconut. I don’t think that I’ve ever eaten vegetarian curry with coconut in it, so now is a good a time to try one.
This really is a very easy dish to make.
Overall, the actual cooking time is only around 15 minutes.
The only slight mishap I had was when I was chopping up the pumpkin and nearly sliced into a finger with a new sharp knife that I’ve just bought.
I prepared the ingredients and waited until the dinner guests arrived before starting to cook the curry.
The curry was ready in quick time and I served it up on a bed of basmati rice.
And how was the curry? The main comment is that it was more like a soup than a curry. And the coconut taste was really strong – nobody could taste the pumpkin.
And the curry was very mild – it was much too mild for my own taste.
It was not one of the most well received curries that I’ve made and was awarded an average rating of 5.5 with a heat/spice rating of mild.
I must be honest – I didn’t like this curry. There was way too much coconut and it was too mild.
I’ll be keeping an eye open to see if a new pumpkin curry recipe appears on the website.
