meatless monday: potato pumpkin curry recipe

We love curry. My kids love it. My husband loves it. I have been known to eat curry for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Curry night is always a winner in our house! I usually make some sort of curry each week…tomato chickpea curry, cauliflower curry, curried tofu, potato spinach curry…the variations of curry are almost endless.

When I first met my husband, he told me he would cook a potato pumpkin curry for me one night. And he did – I soon found out he was a pretty good cook!

I made a potato pumpkin curry last night and although it wasn’t like that first potato pumpkin curry we shared, it transported my mind back 7 years ago when we met and were getting to know each other. Ahh sweet love! It’s no wonder curry is such a favourite in our household.
