Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
• 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• For the Garlic Naan:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)

How to Make Creamy Pumpkin Curry with Garlic Naan

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for another minute until fragrant.
3. Sprinkle in the curry powder and stir well to coat the onions, cooking for an additional minute.
4. Stir in the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. While the curry simmers, prepare the garlic naan. In a bowl, mix the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
6. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
7. Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each piece into a flat circle. Brush one side with melted butter and sprinkle with minced garlic.
8. Add the naan, garlic side down, to the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining dough.
9. Once the curry is thickened and flavorful, serve it hot, garnished with chopped cilantro, alongside the warm garlic naan.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh spices for maximum flavor impact.
• Adjust the thickness of the curry by adding more or less vegetable broth.
• For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the curry.
• Make sure your skillet is hot enough before cooking the naan to achieve the perfect texture.

Easy Variations

• Add cooked chickpeas or lentils to the curry for added protein.
• Substitute sweet potato or butternut squash for a different flavor profile.
• Experiment with different herbs like basil or mint for a fresh twist in the curry.

What to Serve With It

• A simple side salad with lemon dressing.
• Steamed basmati rice or quinoa for a heartier meal.
• Pickled vegetables for a tangy contrast.
