This Pumpkin Jackfruit Curry is a fall inspired curry that is perfect on a chilly night!
During the fall and winter months, I love cooking with pumpkin.
Pumpkin doesn't have to be used in just sweet recipes. Canned pumpkin puree is great in savory recipes too!
This fall, I've been making this easy Pumpkin Jackfruit Curry for dinner. This curry is great because it's super simple to make; perfect for a weeknight meal!
This recipe is inspired by my Easy Jackfruit Curry recipe; which is one of my most popular recipes on the blog! Have you tried it yet?!
The base of this easy vegan curry is onion, fresh ginger, garlic, and a jalapeno. I like to add jalapeno just for a hint of spice. If you like things on the spicer side, I'd recommend leaving the seeds in the pepper!
I love the addition of jackfruit to curries. I think it adds a great texture.
If you aren't a big fan of jackfruit or are unable to locate it, I think that canned chickpeas would be delicious in this pumpkin curry!
how to serve the curry
I always have to serve rice with curry. I like to serve this curry along side some steamed white rice. I make a batch of rice after I shred the jackfruit. Since white rice only takes about 15 minutes to cook, the curry and rice should be done around the same time.
I like to garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and roasted cashews or peanuts.
If you a pumpkin fan, I hope that you give this savory pumpkin curry a try!
