I made this super delicious vegan curry for lunch and my family loved it, so I’ve decided to share the recipe with you too.
It’s a healthy dish, pumpkin contains carotenoid antioxidants that can help support a healthy immune system and sweet potatoes are rich in vitamin A, potassium which is necessary for normal blood pressure, and antioxidants that helps to nourish our immune system.
Sweet potato and pumpkin curry is very easy to make, you don’t need to do too much to prepare it and the final result is truly delicious!
Step by step Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Curry Recipe
Heat oil into a deep pan. Add cumin seeds, bay leaf, dried red chillies, cardamon, cinnamon and dried fenugreek leaves. Fry for few seconds until cumin seeds start to sizzle.
Now add all powder spices except for garam masala that we will add it later. Fry for 30 seconds.
Add chopped onions and fresh ginger, mix well and cook for 3 minutes, on medium flame, until onion gets soft.
Bring into the pan pumpkin, sweet potato and carrot, mix well and stir fry for 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water and cook uncovered for 5 minutes, on medium flame.
Now it’s time to add tomatoes, garam masala and salt. Stir and cook for 2 minutes, then add 1 cup of water and let it cook for 15 minutes.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
