Pumpkin Curry One Pot is a comforting, aromatic, and nourishing dish made with creamy pumpkin, coconut milk, chickpeas, and warm spices. It’s a flavorful, vegan-friendly meal perfect for chilly nights and comes together easily in one pot.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes or 1 small fresh chili, chopped (optional)
  • 3 cups fresh pumpkin, peeled and cubed (or 1 can pumpkin puree)
  • 1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup vegetable broth or water
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups spinach or kale (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro and lime wedges, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in garlic, ginger, curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili (if using). Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add pumpkin cubes (or puree) and stir to coat with the spices.
  5. Pour in coconut milk and vegetable broth. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
  6. Add chickpeas and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until pumpkin is tender and sauce thickens. If using puree, simmer until flavors are well combined.
  7. Stir in spinach or kale and cook for another 2–3 minutes until wilted.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime if desired.

Notes

  • For faster prep, use canned pumpkin puree instead of fresh pumpkin cubes.
  • Simmer uncovered to allow the curry to naturally thicken.
  • Customize with other vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or cauliflower.
  • Add cooked lentils or tofu for extra protein.
  • Pairs well with rice, naan, or quinoa.
