Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon oil (coconut oil or any vegetable oil)
  • 1 medium onion (finely diced)
  • 1 heaping tbsp ginger garlic paste
  • 2 medium tomatoes (finely chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne (or paprika. Use more cayenne for more heat)
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • 14-16 oz vegan meat (I used Beyond Beef but any variety is fine)
  • 1 cup mushroom stock (or vegetable stock/vegetable broth)
  • 4 cups pumpkin (cut in a ½-inch dice)
  • 14 oz full fat coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon garam masala
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped, for garnish. Optional)

Instructions

  • Heat oil in large pot or Dutch oven. Add onions with a bit of salt and saute over medium heat until they begin to brown.
  • Stir in the ginger garlic paste and saute for 30 seconds.
  • Stir in the tomatoes and cook until they become quite pulpy.
  • Add cayenne and turmeric and mix in.
  • Stir in the vegan meat and add the stock or water.
  • Add the pumpkin cubes to the pot and mix. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer until the pumpkin is tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the coconut milk and mix it in.
  • Add the garam masala to the curry, bring to a boil, lower heat to a simmer and let the curry cook another 10 minutes for all the flavors to merge. Garnish with cilantro, if using. Serve hot.
