Keep an eye on the cashews when in the oven as they can burn quickly.
Ingredients
Spiced Pumpkin and Cashew Nuts
- 200g peeled pumpkin, diced 1cm
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 80g chopped cashew nuts
Basmati Rice
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 1½ cups water
Tomato and Chickpea Curry
- 1 brown onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons finely grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1½ tablespoons curry spices
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 can chopped tomatoes
- 1 cup vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
To Serve
- 1 jar coconut yoghurt
- 2-3 tablespoons coriander leaves
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 230°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Toss pumpkin on prepared tray with cumin seeds and a drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast for about 20 minutes, until tender. When pumpkin has 5 minutes cook time remaining, scatter cashew nuts over pumpkin and return tray to oven to cook for the final 5 minutes.
-
Combine rice, water and a pinch of salt in a pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
-
While rice cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook onion for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add garlic, ginger, salt and curry spices, and cook a further minute, until fragrant.
-
Add tomato paste and carrot to pan with onion and cook for about 1 minute.
-
Add chopped tomatoes, stock, soy sauce and chickpeas to pan and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer for about 8 minutes, until thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
To serve, place ¾ cup cooked basmati rice into each bowl and top with plenty of tomato and chickpea curry. Dollop with coconut yoghurt, sprinkle over spiced pumpkin and cashew nuts, and garnish with coriander.
