I developed this recipe when my husband had a gout attack and needed to eat a diet with less meat. He’s a huge meat eater and this was no easy task.
He loved this dish and didn’t even realise that I was practically serving him a vegetarian meal.
For a step-by-step tutorial on how to prepare this dish, go to the related blog post.
Cut off the skin of the pumpkin, remove the centres and cut into chunks.
Lay the pumpkin pieces on a baking sheet lined with cooking/parchment paper. Toss with some extra virgin olive oil, and pop the baking sheet into a pre-heated oven of 220C for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Cut the eggplant into large chunks too. They will shrink when they are cooked.
Cut the onions into big chunks and roughly chop up the garlic cloves.
Trim off the ends of the French beans and cut them in half.
Heat the vegetable oil till smoking hot in a pot. Add the eggplant and fry till they are brown and about 70% cooked. Stir occasionally. When they are ready, remove the fried eggplant pieces from the oil, drain well and set aside.
By now the pumpkin should be done. Remove from the oven, and set aside.
Pour away the oil in the pot and return the pot to the stove. Add the onions and garlic and stir fry for a minute.
Add 6 to 7 tablespoons of curry paste to the onion and garlic mixture, which should by now smell really wonderful. Stir fry for a minute.
Add the oyster sauce and Shaoxing Huatiao rice wine. Mix thoroughly with the other ingredients in the pot.
Add 1 cup of water. Stir it in and allow the mixture to simmer for a few seconds.
Add the coconut cream. I used Kara Coconut Cream. Cream, not milk. Add the sugar.
Allow the mixture to come to a boil. Then add in the vegetables in this order: French beans, pumpkin and the eggplant that was set aside earlier.
Drain the chickpeas and pineapple. Add the chickpeas to the mixture. Add the pineapple. We really like pineapple in this curry; I usually add in the whole lot from one can.
Stir the mixture gently and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until all ingredients are heated through and cooked.
Garnish with fried onions and serve with rice. Yum!
