Pumpkin and Chickpea Hot Pot

Step 1

Place a large wide pan over medium heat, and add oil. When hot, add onion and salt, and sauté until softened but not browned. Add curry paste, and sauté for 1 minute. Add cumin and coriander.

Step 2

Raise heat to medium-high, and add pumpkin. Stir for about 1 minute. Stir in coconut milk, chicken broth and soy sauce. Partly cover with a lid, and reduce heat to low. Simmer gently until pumpkin is almost tender, about 20 minutes.

Step 3

Add chickpeas, partly cover, and simmer for 10 minutes more. Stir gently, and adjust salt and pepper to taste. If more heat is desired, add more curry paste. Ladle hot pot into serving bowls, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve.
