Pumpkin curry
Cooking time: 15 min. / 25 min.Difficulty: easy
One of the first curries I learned from grannies in a little house by train tracks in Sri Lanka. I wish I made more shots of the amazing kitchen for the video. But as at the time I just started filming, so you will find them in the newer video recipes and this one is mainly about the recipe :)
Process
Peel pumpkin, remove the insides and dice. Put in a pot and mix with all ingredients except coconut milk and cream. If you prepared home made coconut milk and cream, add into the pot the milk only. If you have a canned coconut cream, pour about 1/4 of it into the pot with the water.
Cook covered on a small heat about 15-20 mins. Then add rest of coconut cream and cook uncovered about 5 mins.
Serve with rice and other kinds of Sri Lanka curries.
