The combination of tender white fish, creamy coconut milk, and flavorful curry paste makes this a crowd-pleaser. The addition of pumpkin and green beans not only adds a lovely texture but also boosts the nutritional value.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp peanut oil
16g
1 onion
160g
2 tbsp curry paste
30g
8 cups pumpkin
960g
2 cups coconut milk
460g
1 cup water
250g
1 cup green beans
230g
1 lb white fish
450g
1 tbsp fish sauce
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
Start by finely chopping the onion. Peel and cube the pumpkin. Trim and halve the green beans. Cut the fish into chunky pieces.
2. Heat the Oil:
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Onion and Curry Paste:
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.
4. Add Pumpkin and Liquid:
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.
5. Simmer:
Reduce the heat to low and let the curry simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the pumpkin starts to soften.
6. Add Green Beans and Fish:
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.
7. Season:
Stir in 1 tablespoon of fish sauce. Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more fish sauce if needed.
8. Serve:
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.

This fish and pumpkin curry is a delightful blend of flavors and textures that will leave your taste buds satisfied. Whether you're a fan of curries or just looking to try something new, this dish is sure to become a favorite. Serve it with steamed rice or warm naan bread to complete the meal.
