This curry is so dang delicious! My original plan was to make this curry and then somehow combine it with a pizza but after I tried the curry I decided I better not ruin it by experimenting further. I’ll save that pizza idea for another time. I highly suggest measuring out all your ingredients before you turn on the heat. The steps for this recipe go by quickly and you don’t want to overcook anything accidentally by rummaging through your kitchen. To prepare the kabocha squash I cut it in half, scooped out the seedy center, and then very carefully used a knife to cut the skin off. Kabocha is in season right now so you can find this wonderful squash pretty much anywhere. I get mine from the farm that I work for and I’ve seen that a few other vendors at the market also grow kabocha squash. I left one on my counter for about 6 months once and it was still fine when I used it so just buy this squash already! It’s so tasty. I hope you all enjoy this dish! <3
