Hi,

The dish looks superb!  ;D

I might even consider putting it into my menu, would you have any objections?

Thank you,

Abdul

Hi Rich
Good post, looks great, who you inviting for dinner.
Just an observation on your technique, if I may.

26 Min's seems quite along time on the hob.

In true BIR style, the veg would be par cooked
and the finished dish would only take about 6-7 minutes
on med to high heat.
Everybody cooks differently, but my understanding of Jalfrezi
is a quick fry up.

Just a suggestion, not a critique.
cheers Chewy

I agree Chewy

I didnt want to turn the pumpkin into mush without letting the sweetness come out into the dish - it tasted great to be honest - but very filling!!
I would say that this could be par cooked if i did it again and it could be turned into a Pumpkin Danshak  as well - not sure how the old flatulence level would be after so much veg though!

Hi Rich,

Ok, let me begin with......Wow, that really does look very good.  I am not into veggies that much my self but got to say, I wouldn't turn my nose up at this if I was offered it in a restaurant.

I have never cooked with any kind of squash for myself so not really sure what to expect.  I'm guessing 'sweet'?  This looks right up the wifes street, she loves her veg, so I may give this a whirl for her.

What a compliment from Abdul too, that he wishes to put it on his menu.

Very well done Rich.

It just goes to show, that even out of the ashes of cr0, a curry pheonix can still rise  ;D

Thanks mate - it does taste very good - - it was very filling - cooking with pumpkin etc is easy mate to be honest the carrot compliments it - as i said i didn't want to pre cook the pumpkin - didn't want it to over cook in the curry itself - i wanted the subtle flavour to cook through - it did. Again as many chilies can be added to spice it up.
I will be making a pumpkin and carrot dhansak next followed by pumpkin bhuna - not that i like pumpkin but as a veggie alternative it really works well - hope you give it a whirl Ray - let me know if you were in the wife's good books
best, Rich

p.s. its not too sweet nothing like a Korma - naturally sweet!!

That dish does look really great LIS. Thanks I grow a lot of cucurbitas and needed a good recipe to cope with a glut of them. I presume any type could be used in this recipe rather than just the pumpkin.

This is a dish i have to try, it looks wonderful and very beautifully presented.
Thanks for posting this recipe.
Bonus as well using Abduls base, been experimenting with this base myself having already made around 8 new dishes using abduls base and 8 spice mix.
Cheers.
