Very tasty even with canned curry paste and I imagine would be even better with Thai basil ( which wasn’t available so I used coriander).

A quick and easy dinner with beautiful flavours. Adding the palm sugar, fish sauce and lime leaves will be additions to all my future curries - so good! Used carrot and capsicum as my veg for this one from what was in the fridge. May just sub the water for coconut cream in future & a squeeze of lime was lovely. A new regular on the menu!

I reduced quantities to cook for 4 rather than 6 (served 2 , leftovers for another meal). Substituted leg fillets for thigh fillets, rapadura sugar for palm sugar and lime zest for kaffir lime leaves. Added green beans for colour and because they needed using up. Had fingers crossed that it would still taste delicious with the substitutes I made and….👍 but would take skin off pumpkin next time I cook the dish.

This curry is super delicious, the pumpkin provides a delightful sweetness to the dish which balances the chilli and fresh herbs. Adding the lime leaves and fresh Thai basil makes a world of difference. I added some green beans and served with some rice. Super scrumptious!
