Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
  • 1 mild red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 red bell peppers, sliced or diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced or diced
  • ~ 15 spears asparagus, cut into chunks
  • 80 g frozen edamame (~ 1/2 cup)
  • 1 tbsp red Thai curry paste
  • 245 g tinned pumpkin (~ 1 1/2 cups)
  • 250 ml coconut milk (~ 1 cup) - I used light
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • To serve: chopped cashew nuts, fresh coriander (cilantro)

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan, and add the thinly sliced carrots. Cook over a medium heat for a few minutes, then add the chilli, garlic, and peppers. Continue to cook for 4-5 more minutes, stirring regularly, until the vegetables are fairly soft. Add the asparagus and edamame, and cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Next add the Thai curry paste, tinned pumpkin, and coconut milk. Mix carefully until well combined, and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the turmeric and a pinch of cayenne pepper (if desired), along with a squeeze of lime juice and some salt and pepper. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes or so, until all the vegetables are cooked to your liking.
  • Serve topped with chopped cashew nuts and fresh coriander (cilantro).
