Combine Ingredients: Place the diced pumpkin in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add the tomato paste, curry powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt if desired. Gently toss the ingredients together until the pumpkin is evenly coated with the seasonings.
-
Microwave: Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape. Microwave the pumpkin mixture on high for about 13 minutes. This will give you a crisp bite, perfect for those who enjoy a bit of texture in their dish.
-
Adjust Texture: If you prefer a mushier consistency, continue microwaving for an additional 5 minutes, for a total of about 18 minutes.
-
Serve: Once cooked to your desired texture, carefully remove the bowl from the microwave. Give the pumpkin curry a final stir, then serve hot as a side dish or main course.
Tips:
- Spice Level: Adjust the amount of curry powder to suit your taste preferences. For a milder dish, reduce the amount of curry powder, or omit it altogether for a more subtle flavor profile.
- Variations: Feel free to customize this recipe by adding other vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, or carrots. You can also incorporate protein sources like tofu or chickpeas for a more substantial meal.
- Garnish: Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro or parsley over the finished dish for a pop of color and added freshness.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until heated through before serving.
Enjoy this easy, healthy, and flavorful sweet and spicy pumpkin curry as a satisfying meal any day of the week! ๐ฝ๏ธ๐
