Steps:

Toast fennel, cumin, and coriander in a dry saucepan over medium heat until fragrant. Transfer to a mortar and pestle and crush until finely ground. Add turmeric and salt and mix.
Add oil to a medium saucepan and heat until shimmering. Add ginger, garlic, and onion and cook for two minutes. Add mustard seeds, anise seeds, and spice mix, and cook for another two minutes. Mix in the pumpkin and cook one minute more.

Add the cauliflower and coconut milk, stir, taste, and add salt if needed. Simmer 20 to 25 minutes, until sauce is reduced and cauliflower and pumpkin are tender.
Add in shrimp and cook until they're pink, firm, and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve curry over jasmine rice and garnish with cilantro.
