I think that pumpkin works really well with curry. Anything sweet goes well with a spicy curry in my opinion, particularly mango chutney with a hot indian curry.

Hi Sarina!

I cooked this dish last night, and Vince and I loved it We were not able to find fresh pumpkin and got butternut squash instead. It worked nicely! It added, I think, a sweetness to the dish!

I thought this may be useful for anyone who can’t find pumpkin. There’s canned pumpkin, but we instantly vetoed that!

Rachel – I was just an hour or two ago wondering if you really did give it a try and how you would find it I am sooo glad you loved it It makes amazing leftovers and the color gets even more golden as the pumpkin continues to color the rice Thanks so much for sharing it with your readers!

Hi Trini!

I made this tonight and it was AWESOME! I posted about it:
Trini’s Curried Pumpkin and Rice.

I have a bunch leftover. I know it’s going to be great for lunch during the week.

Rachel – dice the pumpkin no bigger than 3/4 inch and uniformly so it all cooks at the same rate and doesn’t take too long

This looks awesome! I just added the ingredients to my shopping list so I can make for next week. It looks like a good meal to make on a Sunday night and then take leftovers for lunch.

I’ve never cooked with a pumpkin before! It’s actually one of my goals for 2007

I’ll post a review of it on my blog and I’ll link back to this recipe. By the way, I’ve added your site as a favorite and linked to it from my blog. Thanks for your original recipes!

New to your site. I am a Trini living in the States and I love to cook.
