Low-Carb Pumpkin Curry Recipe
Fancy a curry that'll warm your cockles on these cold Autumn evenings? Well, grab your spoons and get ready for a flavour explosion, because our Low Carb Pumpkin Curry is about to warm your soul!
Being Halloween season, pumpkins are all over the place at the moment. But most the time these lovely vegtables are carved up, lit up, then discarded.
At Heylo, we want more from this veg! So why not imagine those tender chunks of pumpkin swimming in a creamy, aromatic sauce, with a pop of green from wilted spinach. Sounds good, doesn't it?!
Now, let's dish out the delicious details. Each serving of this Indian-inspired delight serves up 18g of fat, 4g of protein, and only 11g of carbs, with 4g of fibre. At 250 calories per portion, it's a satisfying meal that fits surprisingly well into your keto lifestyle.
It takes less than an hour to prepare, and it's perfect for those chilly evenings when you want something that tastes like you've put in some serious effort, without actually, you know... putting in much effort at all.
Want to take it to the next level? Serve it with a split Heylo Low-Carb Pizza Base. It's the perfect vehicle for soaking up every last drop of that vibrant sauce!

Ingredients
- Pumpkin: 300g (peeled and diced)
- Single Cream: 200ml

Directions
In a large saucepan, fry the onion. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add the diced pumpkin and curry powder into the pot. Stir well to ensure the pumpkin is coated with the spices and cook for 5 minutes.
