wicked comforting pumpkin curry

Don’t let those beautiful pumpkins go to waste (did you know that most Halloween pumpkins end up in the trash…and eventually in a landfill?)! We’ve whipped up this wicked quick, wicked easy pumpkin (feel free to sub for squash) curry that’ll be the perfect belly warmer for these winter months. A lil’ Thai flavour gives this smooth curry a kick, with freshness from coriander and a protein punch from the humble chickpea. Make big batches of this if you have a bunch of pumpkins decorating your windows, ideal to freeze and reheat when you need some delicious comfort food!
