Creamy pumpkin chickpea coconut curry with cashews and broccoli. Yes. This just happened.
I like to get festive and make at least one pumpkin dish every fall. If I had to choose my all-time favourite, it would have to be this one, right here. Yup, I choose this comfort food even over cookies or pie. A bowl of this curry will warm you right up on any cold, fall day!
It's ready in under 30 minutes and it's both vegan and gluten-free! Um, I think that is what you call a very strong contender for meatless Mondays. Maximize your time even further by preparing a pot of easy coconut rice or Basmati rice first or at the same time. You can also serve this with some delicious garlic naan bread.
Why am I obsessed with pumpkin? Well, it is kind of fall's superfood. Just to name a few, here are some reasons why:
- boosts immunity
- burns fat
- protects your eyes
- cancer fighting
- beneficial for your heart
- reduces inflammation
