Ash Pumpkin (Winter Melon) Curry with Tumeric

This is a brand new ash gourd curry recipe which is simple, full of flavour and
you need very little prep time. The only hero spice used in this recipe is the
priceless turmeric powder. In this easy curry, the gentle heat coming from the
green chillies is balanced beautifully by the addition of little creamy coconut
milk and enhanced by the flavour of the curry leaves. Serve with steamed fluffy
rice and papads for that perfect weeknight vegetarian dinner option.

Instructions

1 Peel the ash pumpkin and cut into 5cm long slices or bite size pieces.
2 In a deep saucepan combine ash pumpkin, coconut milk, turmeric powder, garlic,
green chillies, stock powder, sugar and salt. Stir well and cook on medium heat
for 15-20 minutes or until the ash pumpkin is soft but not mushy. The lid should
be closed whilst cooking and stir from time to time for even cooking. Remove
from heat and set aside.
3 For the seasoning, heat oil in a small frypan on medium and add onions. Fry
onions for 6 minutes or until golden brown stirring from time to time. Add the
curry leaves and when they start to splutter, remove from heat. Add seasoning to
the cooked ash pumpkin and close lid immediately. Closing the lid captures all
the flavours of the seasoning into this beautiful mild curry. After 5 minutes
open lid and give it a good stir.
4 Delicious served with hot steamed rice and papads.
