Why Pumpkin Curry is the Perfect Fall Comfort Food

As the days get shorter and the weather cools down, I always crave warming, grounding meals—and pumpkin curry is one of my absolute favorites. Pumpkins are in season during fall and winter, making this dish not only cozy but also sustainable and nourishing.

The best part? You can use any type of pumpkin you find locally—butternut, sugar pumpkin, kabocha, or whatever’s available. The flavors pair beautifully with coconut milk, ginger, and turmeric.

This pumpkin curry is:

• Creamy, rich, and satisfying
  

• Packed with plant-based protein & fiber
  

• Boosted with anti-inflammatory turmeric
  

• Easy to make in under 40 minutes
