Make this comforting, flavorful vegan pumpkin curry in one pot for a quick weeknight dinner. It uses coconut milk for creaminess and is inspired by Indian spices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup chopped spinach or kale (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Cooked rice or naan, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Cook the spices for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  5. Pour in the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine everything.
  6. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Stir in the salt and pepper. If using, add the spinach or kale and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Serve the curry hot over cooked rice or with naan bread. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • For a thicker curry, simmer uncovered for an extra 5 minutes after the initial 10 minutes of cooking.
  • If you prefer a Thai flavor profile, substitute the Indian spices with 2 tablespoons of red curry paste.
  • This recipe freezes well for future meals. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
