PUMPKIN BUTTER CHICKEN
This hearty pumpkin curry is an autumnal twist on a classic butter chicken. Pumpkin puree replaces heavy cream for a lighter, healthier, but just as hearty curry. Diced chicken pieces marinate in a spiced yogurt marinade before browned and then cooked fully in a thick and warming sauce.

Steps:
- In a medium sized bowl: add the marinade ingredients (yoghurt, ginger, garlic, garam masala, turmeric, chili powder and salt).
- Mix together until fully combined and then stir in the chicken pieces until coated in the yoghurt blend.
- Cover the chicken and let marinate at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
- Heat the coconut oil to a large skillet over a medium heat. When hot, add the chicken pieces to the skillet and fry until all sides are browned (about 3 minutes). You may need to fry the chicken in batches of 2-3 to prevent the pan from crowding. Once browned, remove from the pan and set aside on a plate. The chicken will cook fully in the sauce later.
- Add the butter or ghee (or coconut oil) to the same skillet you used for the chicken. When hot, add the onions and fry until soft, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the ginger, garlic, tomato paste and spices (garam masala, curry powder, coriander, cumin and salt) and sauté another 2-3 minutes.
- Add the coconut milk and pumpkin to the skillet. Stir until a thick, mostly smooth sauce forms and let simmer for 10 to let the sauce thicken slightly.
- Add the chicken back to the skillet, stir and let the curry simmer another 8-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
- Taste and season with more salt if needed. Top with fresh cilantro and serve over rice (or cauliflower rice) and with gluten free naan.
