This is a really easy curry to make and a delicious one too. It's not a completely authentic Indian recipe but I ate something very similar to it when I was there. The success of this dish relies on the quality of the ingredients: Try and find a ripe pumpkin as it will need to be sweet, and try to use a good tasting vegetable stock; most of the ones I've bought just taste of salt but OXO veggie cubes have some flavour to them. Read more I think cartons of ready made stock are pretty good too. It's quite a strongly spiced curry and you will probably smell afterwards, so reduce the spice quantities if you like. Enjoy.
