Thai-Style Pumpkin and Spinach Curry

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses
The secret to a good curry is patience at the start and speed at the end. The curry paste must be thoroughly fried to awaken aromas in the fat. Pumpkin provides body and sweetness, coconut milk brings creaminess, and spinach is added at the very end—just wilted—to preserve freshness and vitamins.

⚠️ Tree Nuts (Coconut)

Instructions

1 ✓

Chop the onion and garlic, grate the ginger. Heat oil in a wok.

2 ✓

Sauté the onion until translucent, then add garlic, ginger, and curry paste. Fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Tip: If you don't fry the paste, it tastes 'raw'. Heat releases the flavors.
3 ✓

Toss in the pumpkin cubes, coat with the spiced oil, then pour in the coconut milk.

Tip: Pumpkin vitamins (like Vitamin A) are fat-soluble, so coconut milk aids absorption.
4 ✓

Simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes until pumpkin softens. Don't boil violently!

5 ✓

Add the spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until wilted.

Tip: Spinach goes in last so it doesn't brown or become slimy.
6 ✓

Remove from heat, squeeze in lime juice, and salt to taste.

Tip: Lime acidity balances the richness of coconut milk.
7 ✓

Serve with fresh cilantro.

Recipe FAQ

The coconut milk separated, is that bad?
If boiled too hard, coconut oil can separate. This doesn't spoil the taste (it's actually desired in authentic Thai dishes), but for a smooth sauce, simmer gently.
