Peel the pumpkin and cut into 2cm chunks. Trim the pak choy, then halve lengthwise and cut into 3cm lengths. Separate the lime leaves, remove the central vein from 1 leaf and thinly slice. Reserve the remaining leaf. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Rinse the quinoa well in a sieve, then drain.
Step 2 — Cook quinoa
Heat 1 tsp vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook the quinoa, stirring, for 3-4 mins until toasted. Add the reserved lime leaf, 60ml (¼ cup) coconut milk and 180ml (¾ cup) water and bring to a simmer. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 12-15 mins until the liquid is absorbed and quinoa is tender. Turn off the heat and stand, covered, for 5 mins.
Step 3 — Start curry
Meanwhile, heat 1 tsp vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook the pumpkin, stirring, for 3-4 mins until slightly softened. Add the curry paste (see Make it milder) and chickpeas and cook, stirring, for 2 mins or until fragrant. Stir in the remaining coconut milk and 125ml (½ cup) water and bring to a simmer.
Step 4 — Simmer curry
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook the curry, stirring occasionally, for 12 mins or until the pumpkin is tender. Arrange the pak choy on top of the curry, cover and cook for a further 1-2 mins until the leaves are wilted.
Step 5 — Serve up
Stir 2 tsp soy sauce, 2 tsp white vinegar and 1 tsp honey into the curry. Remove the pan from the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper. Fluff the quinoa with a fork. Divide the quinoa and curry among bowls and scatter over the sliced lime leaf. Enjoy!
Step 6 — Make it milder
Our yellow curry paste has a mild kick to it. For those who like their curry with less spice, use half the paste.
