00:30For the curry base, you'll need 1 tablespoon of peanut oil and 1 diced medium onion.
00:36You'll also need 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of fresh grated ginger,
00:413 tablespoons of vegan red curry paste, and 1 quarter teaspoon ground cinnamon.
00:47Use 2 pounds of peeled 1-inch sugar pumpkin pieces with a 14-ounce can of full-fat coconut milk,
00:532 tablespoons of organic brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice.
00:58Stir in 1 quarter cup packed chopped fresh basil and 1 half teaspoon salt, adjusting as needed.
01:05Serve topped with quarter cup roasted cashews alongside cooked rice.
01:09Coat a large pot with 1 tablespoon of peanut oil and heat over medium until shimmering, about 2-3 minutes.
01:16Use a heavy-bottomed pot for even heat distribution, avoiding burnt aromatics.
01:21Add diced onion, cooking for about 5 minutes until translucent.
01:26This slow process enhances the onion's natural sweetness, preparing the aromatic base.
01:32Stir in minced garlic, fresh ginger, red curry paste, and ground cinnamon.
01:36Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning, until aromatic and the curry paste darkens and releases oils.
01:44Lower the heat if needed to avoid sticking.
01:47Add pumpkin pieces, coconut milk, and brown sugar, scraping up brown bits from the pot.
01:53Bring to a rolling boil in 3-4 minutes, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
01:59Uncover and simmer for 10 more minutes until the pumpkin is tender.
02:02Remove from heat, stir in fresh basil, lime juice, and salt.
02:07Adjust seasonings to balance creamy, spicy, sweet, and tangy flavors.
02:13Serve over rice topped with roasted cashews and let sit 10-15 minutes to deepen the flavors.
