SPINACH AND PUMPKIN CURRY
A vegetable curry which is far too spicy for me but which I believe many would enjoy. It's certainly full of nutrition. I found this recipe in a March 2005 issue of the magazine 'Fresh'. I've posted it here exactly as I found it. Although I have cooked such dishes, as a non-eater, I have no feel for them so am ill-equipped to modify them in any way, but I do hope that anyone trying this recipe will make it their own by adjusting it to meet their own taste preferences. And for a spot of culinary trivia: among the spices in this recipe is turmeric which - according to the notes accompanying the recipe - "has been called 'poor man's saffron' as it imparts a yellow colour at a fraction of the cost"!

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat; add the mustard seeds and cook until they start to pop; add the chillies, curry leaves, turmeric and (optional) fenugreek seeds, if using; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
- Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes or until it has softened; stir in the tomatoes, coconut milk and pumpkin; bring to a simmer and cook over a medium heat for 15 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender.
- Chop any large spinach leaves; add the lime juice and spinach to the curry and stir until the spinach leaves have just begun to wilt; serve on a bed of rice, topped with a dollop of yoghurt and mint leaves.
PUMPKIN AND SPINACH CURRY
For some reason I always wait till I'm specially remembering to increase my veggie intake to do this, but it is one of my all time favourite dishes and isn't nearly as complicated as it sounds.
