Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop or grate the ginger.
- Cut the beef into bite-size pieces.
- Peel and cut the pumpkin into chunks.
- In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the peanut oil over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped ginger to the pot and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the curry paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
- Add the beef to the pot. Brown the beef on all sides for about 5-7 minutes. Ensure the curry paste evenly coats the beef pieces.
- Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the beef to start becoming tender.
- Add the pumpkin chunks to the pot. Stir well to incorporate.
- Cover and allow the curry to simmer for another 20-25 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and the beef is fully cooked.
- In a small bowl, mix the corn flour with a bit of water to form a smooth slurry.
- Gradually stir the corn flour mixture into the curry, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. This will help thicken the curry.
- Pour in the coconut milk and stir well to combine.
- Allow the curry to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the sauce is creamy and well-blended.
- Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, alongside steamed rice or flatbreads.
Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven for even cooking and to prevent sticking.
- For best results, use fresh ginger root and freshly ground spices if possible.
- Cut the beef into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Adjust the level of spice in the curry paste according to your taste preference.
- If the curry is too thick, you can add a bit more vegetable broth or water to achieve the desired consistency.
- For a thicker sauce, cook the curry uncovered for the last 15 minutes to allow some of the liquid to evaporate.
- Serve the curry with steamed rice or naan bread for a complete meal.
