Chicken Curry With Roast Pumpkin
1 Queensland Blue pumpkin
340 grams boneless, skinless chicken breasts, chopped
1 capsicum, chopped
1 tbsp mild curry powder
1 medium onion, chopped into pieces
½ cup milk or cream
¼ cup raisins
¼ cup chopped coriander
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 230°C. Cut the pumpkin in half, scoop out the seeds and make a small well through the flesh. Rub it with half the oil and the salt and pepper and place on a baking sheet. Roast it in the oven until the remaining flesh is soft and brown, about 25 minutes. While it roasts, heat the remaining oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. When it’s hot, add the chicken, capsicum and onion. Sauté for three minutes, add the curry powder, milk and raisins. Use a wooden spoon to mix thoroughly. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Serve a scoop of the curry inside the roasted pumpkin. Garnish with coriander. Serves two.
