Pumpkin is so nutritious and healthy yet many of us don’t eat them. So my Pumpkin Curry Coconut Milk is for all those fussy eaters. Just serve them Vegan Pumpkin Curry and they will eat lovingly without knowing what they are eating. My hubby also belongs to same category hence you see I had to come up with some unique dish like this.
This monsoon go for healthy Vegan Pumpkin Curry Coconut Milk….. Goes well with rice. Any thoughts what could be the main ingredient for this nutritious curry????? Hmmm yes it’s pumpkin so easy to guess. However it also consists of veggies like french beans, carrots and green peas along with thick coconut milk.
To make a vegan dish is quite challenging. I get very creative when it comes to vegan Or a vegetarian dish. As you can’t use milk and any animal products so you have to start thinking hard. But it’s not so difficult as I love to make any kind of dish which originates from my heart and implemented through my head.
The best part is my fussy hubby loved the curry. He curiously asked me which curry is this ? to which I replied pumpkin but he ate them as he found it tasty. You also try them I am sure your family and kids will love them.
One more thing you could eat Vegan Pumpkin Curry as a starter, soup, stew Or curry. Either ways you will like them to eat sounds good right !

I remember having a pumpkin coconut soup at a really fancy restaurant here in Delhi called the Indian Accent and ever since I haven’t been able to get it out of my head. I did try looking up recipes online but somehow never found one that seemed convincing enough. Your recipe seems perfect! Pity its a Sunday night but I am definitely trying it out next weekend 🙂 will let you know how it turned out.
Thank you for sharing!
