Just in time for Halloween, this Savory Beef and Pumpkin Curry is the perfect recipe for pumpkin season. One of my favourite ways to use up the scooped out pumpkin after making Jack-O’-Lanterns is to create excitingly flavoured curries! This recipe is comfort food at it’s best, combining tender beef chuck, chunks of pumpkin and deliciously spiced curry sauce. Serve alongside boiled rice to balance the mild spice and heat of the rich curry.
What’s in chief hot and spicy duck curry powder?Coriander, tumeric, cumin, fenugreek, black cumin, aniseed, chillies and salt.
Helpful Tips
Duck Curry Seasoning is the secret seasoning which provides an incredible amount of added flavour and spice to this dish. This recipe also works great with regular curry powder if duck curry seasoning is unavailable.
Be careful not to overcook the beef during the prepping process, the beef will be also cooked within the stew.
I love using chicken bouillon as a salt substitute in this recipe as it adds extra flavor whilst also seasoning the dish.
The reason to sear the beef before placing into stew is to caramelize the meat and amplify the savory flavors.
Do not stir the pumpkin too much or it will break up.
