I start work tomorrow in a vegan yoga retreat in Sri Lanka. I've been here 2 years and I cook Sri Lankan food nearly everyday. ,(I'm a chef). This is very authentic and looks beautiful. Can't wait to use your other vegan recipes. Thanks so much 👍🙏
Thank you I enjoyed this recipe! I loved the flavor of the curry leaves with the lime leaves so I used both. I too love a spicy curry! I added carrots and let my curry cook down a bit before adding the coconut milk. This helped the curry flavor to get into the veggies really nicely. I loved being able to let it simmer away all on 1 pot and it was fantastic the next day for lunch!
Hey Irene, this was spot on. I'm a sri lankan and you brought the essence of sri lanka to the dish ! I'm gonna follow the recipe 🙂 good luck with the channel !
Hi Asa!! Very nice to hear from you! I feel so blessed that you think i brought the essence of sri lanka to the dish. That means so much to me!!! Pls do follow the recipe and let me know how you enjoyed it! ❤️❤️
Also can I just say this channel in general (and you) is a hidden gem!! There are so many moments I actually laughed at (the coconut cream ambushing you like it ambushes all of us, the bashing of the lemon grass, the "wooo! steam bath" moment I can't wait til you're a viral cooking channel, it's gonna happen queen!!
Thanks for this recipe. It reminded me of when I was really little and my uncle took me in the kitchen and allowed me to help him to make pumpkin stew. It was so much fun. He didn’t use coconut milk or lemon grass though. I’ll be trying your way in a few minutes. I can’t wait to taste your recipe.
Hi Irene Today I prepared this and it turned the most favorite of mine. The ingredients are simple, I simply liked it. Thanks for sharing wonderful recipe.
S I M O N I LittleAsianMan hi Simon! Thanks so much for the love! My partner and I often have this conversation and wonder the same thing. The liberating thing about it is that we enjoy what we do, so the low number of subscribers doesn’t bother us at all, though its Always good to grow . Where are you commenting from? Thanks for watching. Much love to you! ❤️✌️
@@Ireneathanasiou a wise fisherman once said. I havent caught anything yet today but theres plenty of day left...just gotta keep casting the line. And be patient if the bait on the hook is good enough you wont have to worry about catching them be confident eventually the fish will find YOU. Youll need a bigger basket Lol Keep doing your thing. Once you manifest it to reality..... Its forever. Great things are always great
You are so very welcome Andrei!! I haven't made this is a few years and I'm thinking to have guests over in the fall. It will be perfect with the pumpkin, especially with fresh roti!!! Enjoy it, and thanks for the lovely comment. ❤❤❤
This channel is soo underrated 🤯 the amount of work and the quality are worth more visibility Anyway thank you for the recipe this is my first time trying pumpkin i'll let you know how it turned out
I made it today, though I had made some variations it turned out to be good. Made it in bulk, so its going to last for 3 meals atleast I think XD TIP: add some fresh soft raddishes and double the water content to give it a stew like consistency.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I've been wanting to cook with pumpkin more and just eat more of it in general, and this is the only recipe I found that isn't pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie, or pumpkin and apple dog treats. Looks delicious! Can't wait to try it. Instant subscribe. :)
D L I’m sure you’re going to love this one! Pumpkin is important, especially if you are eating plant based because of the vitamin A we need. Combine it with some healthy fats like coconut And your body will absorb the nutrients more efficiently! Let me know if you try this one. ❤️✌️
GORGEOUS ~ absolutely scrumptious, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal made it with homemade Palak Paneer & garlic naan. It is so rich & creamy, flavourful & tasty comments were that it tasted as good as you would get at a 5 Star Indian restaurant, I would have to agree,. Won't be the last time we have this dish as we grow our own Jared pumpkins (a harder dryer pumpkin than the ones in the USA for Hallowe'en) it was perfect, more like a Butternut I would say. Guess I'm going to be checking out all your recipes based on how good this one is. Again thank you Irene, you're as good as it gets.
Hi there! oh I loved reading this comment so much! Thank you for all the kind words. You know, I am just so grateful to have people like you trying my recipes. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Audrey hhh Hi Audrey thank you so much for your comment! I truly hope you try out this recipe because it’s one of my favorites. If you’re really into Indian food you should definitely check out my butter chicken recipe as well!! Thank you for your support and for watching honey pie. ❤️❤️❤️❤️✌️
Looks beautiful!!! Definitely wanna try. How would you make it with pumpkin: cut the flesh into cubes? Also would appreciate written recipes in the description box to refer back to later :p
Beata Cohan omg thank you! I completely forgot to add the recipe in the description box!!! Also yes, cut into cubes. Let me know how you like it. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Annie! Thanks for watching. :) I don't think coconut flakes will give the same end result and texture. Could end up lumpy but also coconut flakes or not the same this as coconut milk powder. . Coconut flakes or shredded coconut is made up of dried, finely ground coconut meat. On the other hand, coconut milk powder is extracted from fresh coconut milk suitable for thickening curries, soups and so on. While they might look the same, there is a lot of difference between coconut milk powder and coconut flakes. I hope that helps! :)
I’m curious if roti is made differently across cultures. Some restaurants have the flaky roti and others have the chewy rotis. I like both, but I’m gluten free now so I’m making a sweet potato gluten free version. Looking forward to making this pumpkin curry today.
They are made differently in each country/region! In Sri Lanka, roti is made with flour and shredded coconut, whereas in India it depends on whether they do just flour and butter or other special ingredients.
This looks amazing 😋💖... I will definately make it soon... just hope I can easily find coconut milk powder...if not , no worries...yeay for online shopping😊. And yes, yes, yes please post yoyr roti recipe. My Dad is from Trinidad and my Mom is from Dominica. I grew up on roti but have never tried making it. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with the world 👩🍳🌏💖
Yes, pls don’t leave out the coconut milk powder! Wow what a combination! Both very exotic cultures. The roti is easy to make but there is a certain technique that gives it that flaky texture. Cant wait for u to mKe it with the curry! Also, you are most welcome. I feel lucky to have people like you commenting and supporting what we do. We appreciate that. ❤️
@@Ireneathanasiou I can't wait for me to make this curry either😋... I will look forward to that and your flaky roti recipe. Yes, texture is so important for a really nice roti bake 👩🍳💖
Hey, you’re most welcome!!! Maybe you can replace it with soy cream, or oat cream? Choose one that is a bit sweet. You could add one of those creams and a bit of sweetener. It’s a tough one but either way you will enjoy! You could just leave it out but this is that last step that makes the dish heavenly. ❤️❤️❤️🙏
In will definitely make a video on how to mAke roti, next week! As for the halloween snacks it’s definitely something i could do for next halloween! Enjoy the recipes Jayne!
@@Ireneathanasiou Thank you, I will look forward to it. I ended up making vegan chocolate with ice molds and Apple monsters with seeds for eyes and teeth, peanut butter and cashews for a tongue and zucchini muffins.
Hey Selwyn! I can't imagine using anything else but coconut milk powder! if you don't have any, it will still be delcious - don't worry! I hope you enoyed it. If you have any more questions, im here. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi you can use dried coconut, and grind it then add some water, or almond milk or boil skinned raw peanuts, or raw cashew nuts in water, drain and grind with a little of the water to make a creamy liquid/paste, Love from Scotland x
Connie K hi Connie! Trust me, you don’t want to skip those steps! I usually encourage you all to adjust the recipe but in this case it really needs those two things! Let me know whT happens. ❤️❤️❤️
The secret ingredient!!!!! Can it be substituted???? 🤔🤔🤔 cornflour, something coconut and maple syrup? 😂😂😂 idk but I will try something! And see how it goes lol
Hey girl!! Pls don’t substitute this with anything else!!! You can find coconut milk powder at your local organic store maybe??? If not, definitely not cornflour maybe coconut flakes ground into a powder mYbe??? Let me know how it goes! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just a suggestion if you dont hv the coconut milk powder just add some thick coconut milk at the end and leave it on the fire for a bit till the curry thickens...thats what s done in Sri lanka for curries ...Sri lankans tend to cook with the lighter milk at the beginning then at the end they add the thick milk and leave it on the fire for a bit till the curry thickens...hope that helps 😊
