Celebrate the flavors of fall with this deliciously warm and cozy Autumn Delight Pumpkin & Lentil Coconut Curry. This nutritious and comforting meal features red lentils, pumpkin, and creamy coconut milk, delicately spiced for the perfect well-rounded dish on chilly evenings.
In a large, deep skillet or saucepan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Stir in the ground turmeric, ground cumin, curry powder, ground coriander, chili powder, and garam masala, and cook for 1 minute more until the spices are fragrant.
3
Add the red lentils, cubed pumpkin, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine.
4
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Simmer for 25-30 minutes, until the lentils are cooked through and mostly softened, and the pumpkin is tender.

Uncover the skillet, increase the heat to medium, and stir in the coconut milk, peanut butter, and lemon juice. Cook for 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally.
6
Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh spinach, allowing it to wilt gently.

Serve the curry over cooked basmati rice or with Indian flatbread, garnished with fresh cilantro.
