For the curry cashew cream:
For the curry:

  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 4 clove(s) garlic minced
  • 2 inch piece(s) fresh ginger peeled and minced
  • 1 small pumpkin (about 1000g when peeled, seeded, and cut into 1 - 2 inch cubes)
  • 2 cup(s) vegetable broth
Optional garnishes:
Instructions
  • For the curry cashew cream: add everything to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside. 
  • For the curry: add the oil to large pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add the onion, garlic and ginger, then sautรฉ for about 5 minutes until the onion turns translucent and begins to brown. Add the pumpkin, vegetable broth and curry cashew cream. Cover, bring to a simmer and cook for 8 - 10 minutes until the pumpkin is fork tender.
  • Use an immersion blender in the pot to purรฉe about 1/3 of the curry leaving lots of pumpkin chunks. Serve with rice or naan and garnish with cilantro and/or roasted cashews.
Notes
*If you do not have a high-powered blender such as a Blendtec or Vitamix, soften the cashew first. To soften the cashews, add the cashews to a medium pot and cover with water. Boil for about 10 minutes until the cashews are tender. Drain and rinse with cold water.
