Description

A comforting dish that combines spices with creamy coconut milk and pumpkin puree for a flavorful, cozy meal perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1½ tsp ground turmeric
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk (15 oz)
  • ¼ cup pumpkin puree

Instructions

  1. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
  2. Mix the spices: ginger, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper, salt, and chili powder in a bowl.
  3. Heat avocado oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Sauté onion and garlic until fragrant (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Add the spice mixture to the pan and toast briefly, then add cubed chicken. Cook until chicken is no longer pink (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Mix pumpkin puree and coconut milk until smooth; pour into the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes.
  6. For a thicker sauce, combine water with arrowroot starch and stir it into the curry.
  7. Serve warm over rice or cauliflower rice.

Notes

For a creamier texture, use full-fat coconut milk. You can adjust the spice level to your preference.
