  Really nice - even my boyfriend enjoyed and he really turned his nose up when I suggested pumpkin curry.

  Thanks Beth. This is one of those dishes that actually gets better after a day or two so is perfect for preparing ahead and also a great one to freeze. Bx

  This was gorgeous, I made my own yellow curry paste as my local supermarket didn't have any and being veggie I didn't want any fish ingredients in it anyway. I have never eaten pumpkin before and was really surprised at how delicious it is. I will definitely be making it again.

  Really an excellent use of ingredients...we made double, then with what was left over blitzed the rest and then the next time enjoyed pumpkin curry soup in front of the fire. Cheers!

  I couldn't get hold of yellow thai curry paste, so used red and it still tasted great!

  I couldn't get the squash to really soften up so in the end I mashed it with a potato masher which was great as it made the consistency nice and thick.

  Thanks again, katyrouth, there isn't that much difference between red and yellow curry paste anyway apart from some turmeric which you can add yourself. Bx

  Really easy and a great dish for vegetarians. I made it several days before and the flavours really mellowed. Stirred a little spinach thru at the last minute and served with a cucumber raita. Delicious!

  I made this again on the weekend and put some blanched, squeezed and chopped fresh spinach thru it at the end which worked really well. Thanks Elaine bx

  Made for friends they loved it we love it I am now going to try it with spinach as well. Didn't think of tumeric to make it yellow as used red thai paste but it was a beautiful colour. Thanks to all above.

  I made it from the magazine where the recipe title includes the word "spinach" and was very surprised not to meet any spinach in the list of ingredients... I decided to serve this excellent pumpkin curry with sauteed spinach (just wilted in a drop of olive oil) because I had already bought the spinach, and it was absolutely fabulous, to the point that I would not make this curry again without the spinach! A 5 star curry! Cath

  A friend gave me a pumpkin from her allotment so I made some soup and this recipe for both of us. We loved it and she was delighted her produce was put to such good use. I've asked her for her other pumpkin in exchange for the leftovers which I froze, so I can make the curry for a large family gathering over the Christmas holiday. I'm hoping she grows pumpkins again next year.

  I tried this but to make it healthier I bypassed the coconut milk and used skimmed milk - it was thoroughly enjoyed by all and all bar preparing the pumpkin was super quick

  My son's girlfriend is vegetarian and I thought I'd better venture away from the usual pizza or pasta that I dish up for her! This is absolutely delicious, even enjoyed by my extremely carniverous son. The only thing I changed was to use Barts lemon grass paste instead of fresh, as I already had an open jar in the fridge. I'm sure this is going to be a regular dish at our house.
