I absolutely love making this Savory Pumpkin Coconut Curry when the leaves start to turn and the air gets crisp.

There's something so magical about how the flavors meld together, almost like a cozy blanket wrapping you up.

Plus, it's super simple to whip up, and the leftovers taste even better the next day, which is a win in my book!

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using full-fat coconut coconut milk for that rich, creamy texture, but you can go lighter if you prefer. If you can't find red curry paste, yellow or green works too, just adjust the amount based on your spice preference! And don't skip the fresh lime juice; it really brightens everything up.

Tips & Notes

  • •I often make a double batch and freeze half for a quick meal later on.
  • •If you want to add more protein, feel free to toss in some cooked chickpeas or tofu!

Recipe Variations

  • •Sometimes, I’ll swap out the spinach for kale or even add in some sweet potatoes for an extra hearty touch.
  • •If you like a bit of crunch, try topping it with some roasted pumpkin seeds before serving!

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if it gets too thick.
