Pumpkin and Adzuki Bean Masala Curry

Hearty and wholesome curry with fresh pumpkin, adzuki beans, coconut milk and garam masala seasoning

Sometimes I need a good hearty bowl of curry, like quite often actually and I make a big pot once a week enough for few meals. Unfortunate to my husband and my son who have to patiently eat them, even though they are not the biggest fans. This curry is inspired by my Pumpkin and Adzuki Bean Dip, which I love. It’s hearty and wholesome with fresh pumpkin, adzuki beans, coconut milk and garam masala seasoning. Utterly perfect for this time of a year.

I tend to spice my curries gently, I don’t often use chilies, but do feel free to add them in if you like a bit more heat. I’ve used traditional pumpkin in this recipe, but any squash will be great. If you prefer do soak and cook your own adzuki beans, it will taste even better. For the convenience I’ve just used canned ones from Biona in this recipe. You could also add in some leafy greens towards the end like spinach or kale for even more goodness. Serve on it’s own or with your favorite grain. Enjoy!
