Pumpkin Curry

Today was a very exciting day - there was a pumpkin at Ngossi Market. I bought it straight away - best AUD$2 ever - and got cookin' curry.

Simple Pumpkin Curry

One diced onion 
About 4 cloves garlic
Chunk of ginger
Lime/lemon
A s**tload of chillis (that's the technical term) 
Pumpkin
Cumin, turmeric, salt, pepper

I'm rediscovering the beauty of a mortar and pestle, so I smashed together the garlic and ginger. I put that together with the onion and, because I ran out of olive oil yesterday, threw them in a pan with the chopped birds' eye chillis, squeezed lime and a bit of water to steam cook. After peeling and cubing the pumpkin (a pain in the arse), I threw that in with the cumin, turmeric and salt, sauteed, covered with water and let it go while I drank a few glasses of wine.
After remembering I was cooking dinner, I came back and it was all nice and mushy. Added pepper and ate with Solrice (godawful cheap white rice, but what can ya do). Nom.
