1 mild red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 red bell peppers, sliced or diced
1 green bell pepper, sliced or diced
~ 15 spears asparagus, cut into chunks
80g (~ ½ cup) frozen edamame
1 tbsp red Thai curry paste
245g (~ 1½ cups) tinned pumpkin
250ml (~ 1 cup) coconut milk (I used light)
½ tsp ground turmeric
ÂĽ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
1 tbsp lime juice
Salt
Black pepper
To serve: chopped cashew nuts, fresh coriander
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the oil in a large frying pan, and add the thinly sliced carrots. Cook over a medium heat for a few minutes, then add the chilli, garlic, and peppers. Continue to cook for 4-5 more minutes, stirring regularly, until the vegetables are fairly soft. Add the asparagus and edamame, and cook for 2 more minutes.
Next add the Thai curry paste, tinned pumpkin, and coconut milk. Mix carefully until well combined, and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the turmeric and a pinch of cayenne pepper (if desired), along with a squeeze of lime juice and some salt and pepper. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes or so, until all the vegetables are cooked to your liking.
Serve topped with chopped cashew nuts and fresh coriander
