A twist on a classic Thai curry recipe to celebrate the flavours of this season. Tender pumpkin is cooked in an aromatic coconut broth and taken to the next level with wilted spinach, toasted walnuts and juicy pomegranate seeds.
Bursts of juicy pomegranate seeds cut through the rich coconut milk and aromatic spices.
This dish is great served on its own or with a small portion of fragrant jasmine rice.

Instructions
For the Curry Paste
- Soak the dried chillies in warm water for 25 mins, then remove from the water and roughly chop.
- Place the chillies and the remaining curry paste ingredients in a blender, along with 3 tbsps of the water from the chillies and blitz to a smooth paste.
For the Curry
- Heat a large wok until hot and add the walnuts. Gently toast over a medium heat until fragrant, then remove and set aside.
- Add the oil to the wok, followed by the pumpkin and chicken. Stir fry until the chicken is sealed and the pumpkin is lightly coloured on the outside. Remove and set aside.
- Add your paste to the wok and turn the heat to low. Leave the paste to simmer for 2 mins or until fragrant.
- Add the coconut milk, peanut butter, stock & fish sauce and whisk to a smooth sauce.
- Bring the sauce to a boil then reduce the heat to a medium-low and add the chicken and pumpkin.
- Leave to simmer for 20 mins until the pumpkin is tender.
- Add the spinach then remove the wok from the heat. Stir in the spinach until it has wilted.
- Squeeze over the lime juice, then serve into individual bowls.
- Garnish with the toasted walnuts & pomegranate seeds.
Tips
- For a meatless option, this would be great even without the chicken. If you're vegetarian, you could even substitute the fish sauce for a tsp salt and the chicken stock for vegetable stock.
- The curry paste recipe will make around 200g paste, so you can freeze half for the next time you want to whip up a quick red curry!
