Ingredients:
Instructions:
Start by finely chopping the onion. Peel and cube the pumpkin. Trim and halve the green beans. Cut the fish into chunky pieces.
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes soft and translucent. Add 2 tablespoons of curry paste and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes, ensuring the paste is well integrated with the onions.
Toss in the 8 cups of cubed pumpkin. Pour in 2 cups of coconut milk and 1 cup of water. Stir well to mix the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and let the curry simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the pumpkin starts to soften.
After 15 minutes, stir in the 1 cup of halved green beans and the 1 lb of fish chunks. Allow the curry to simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the green beans are tender but still vibrant.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of fish sauce. Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more fish sauce if needed.
Ladle the fish and pumpkin curry into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy it on its own or with a side of steamed rice or naan bread.
Tips:
- Cut all your vegetables ahead of time to make the cooking process quicker and smoother.
- Adjust the amount of curry paste based on your spice preference. You can also add fresh chili if you like it extra spicy.
- Choose a firm white fish like cod or halibut to ensure the fish holds together well during cooking.
- Cook the curry on medium-low heat to allow the flavors to meld together without burning the ingredients.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or Thai basil for an extra burst of freshness and flavor.
- This curry tastes even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
