- Seasoning with fishsauce and palm sugar..
- Add green beans (or any prefer Veggies in). Let them cook for about 15-20 min. Stir them well. If your curry look a little thick add some water (about 5-8tbsp). Taste your curry, it should be spicy, sweet and salty, you can add more fishsauce and sugar if prefer at this stage..

Pumpkin Curry was not one of my favourite curries growing up. As I have learned to appreciate vegetables and other ingredients and taste them for their pure flavors, Pumpkin Curry now ranks high in my kitchen. Pumpkin curry pairs beautifully with Chardonnay. The pumpkin (or other squash) gives the curry a hint of sweetness that offsets the delicate heat of the Thai red curry paste. Because the curry isn't too spicy, the squash and the nuttiness of the brown rice amplify the mango notes of the Chardonnay.
