|description=A great recipe for fulfilling your 5 a day portions. It's vegetarian & vegan and I have to say one of the best curries I've cooked in quite a while. Abel and Cole
}}

This is my very fruity variation of [[Pumpkin and chickpea curry]] which I've adapted for the [[slow cooker]]. We had the remnants of an [[Abel & Cole]] fruit and vegetable box to use up so this was ideal! We'll be ok for our [[5 a day]] this weekend!

This Is a great recipe for using up very hard or very firm pears and another recipe for your [http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2009/may/14/ghent-vegetarian-city-healthy-belgium Gent night]

I have to say that this was one of the best curries I've made in a long while.
