Ingredients

• Organic Onion: Using a medium yellow onion adds a mild, sweet flavor to your curry, but any onion on hand will work great. Organic onions help keep the dish fresh & flavorful.
• Organic Garlic: Fresh organic garlic is essential for building depth & aroma in this vegan curry. Avoid garlic powder to ensure authentic, rich flavor that complements the spices perfectly.
• Organic White Beans: Loaded with fiber & plant-based protein, white beans add a nutritious & delicious boost. Cannellini, great northern, or navy beans all work perfectly in this recipe.
• Organic Pumpkin Puree: The star of the curry! Always choose pure organic pumpkin puree—not pumpkin pie filling, which often contains added sugars & preservatives. I love using Farmers Market Foods for their clean, natural pumpkin that lets the flavors truly shine.
• Organic Full-Fat Unsweetened Coconut Milk: The secret to this curry’s luscious creaminess. High-quality brands like Native Forest, made from just organic coconut & filtered water without additives or fillers, work best.
• Organic Spices: A blend of curry powder, ground cumin, turmeric powder, sea salt & black pepper brings bold, warming flavors.
• Organic Fresh Cilantro: Adds a bright, fresh finish to the curry.

How to Make

1. Sauté the Onion & Garlic. In a large pan, add the chopped onion & minced garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant & softened.
2. Add the Remaining Ingredients. Add the drained white beans, pumpkin puree, coconut milk, water & spices. Bring to a gentle simmer & cook for about 10 minutes until warmed through.
3. Serve. Ladle the curry into bowls, garnish with fresh cilantro, & enjoy!
