Turmeric is an excellent source of natural antioxidant and is one of the most common ingredient used in our Indian Cooking. Turmeric gives this curry this typical yellow color and also makes it so rich and healthy.

I love Curry Powder, Cumin, Cinnamon and Garam Masala together. It just gets me so excited and thrilled to use these spices together for that super awesome burst of flavor which Indian Cuisine is all about.

Especially Garam Masala is my favorite. Its such a brilliant blend of spices which makes any Indian Curry so special and delicious.

Did you know that these spices have been used in Indian cooking for over 5000 Years. They are not only delicious, but so healthy, providing you with the benefit of antioxidants which is so important for our daily lifestyle in today's world.

You can throw in some baby Spinach and it's a healthy and nutritious meal for the family and ofcourse fancy enough for the crowd. Let me show you how this is made!

You can use store-bought Garam Masala for this recipe. However, I like my homemade Garam Masala recipe. You can try this recipe and make your own Garam Masala at home. Store it in your spice rack and use for any indian curry recipes from Slow Cooker Butter Chicken to Chicken Tikka Masala to Chickpea Tikka Masala to Tofu Tikka Masala and many more Indian recipes. It's just the best spice blend which makes any curry taste just amazing.

😋 Comforting Coconut Sauce

If you're like me and love to just dump everything in the slow cooker and top it off with loads of coconut milk, and then this Pumpkin Curry is for you.

You will love the fact that this curry uses some of the very basic Indian spices which you must have at home at all point. If not, these are really easy to be found at any grocery stores or indian grocery stores or even online.

You'll love the flavors of this curry. Its creamy, sweet and so comforting. Chickpea and Pumpkin together makes for a hearty combination. Top that with some Cashew Nuts and its soooo ummmmaaaazing!!!!! 😋 😋 😋 😋

📝 Variations

This Pumpkin Chickpea Curry has a lot of variations and is so perfect for a cosy and comforting dinner.

  • Spicy - If you like a spicy curry, add some Cayenne Pepper or Red Pepper Flakes to make this Curry Spicy.
  • Tomato Paste - Replace Ketchup with Tomato Paste or Passata for a deep tangy Tomato flavor
  • Beans of your choice - Besides Chickpeas you can add beans of your choice. Its going to be awesome.
  • Lentils - You can add Lentils to this curry. Pumpkin and Lentil is a wonderful combination
  • Sweet Potatoes - Besides all of these, you can add chopped Sweet Potatoes or Butternut Squash for a hearty taste.
  • Chicken or Shrimp - Ofcourse, you can add diced Chicken or deveined and peeled Shrimps. Just remember to sear them before dumping in the slow cooker.

Storage

You can make this curry and store this in the refrigerator for upto a week. I won't recommend you to freeze this curry as it doesn't taste very good upon thawing. It'll get watery and lose the flavors.

Reheat in a skillet or microwave until heated through and serve hot.
