This Is a great recipe for using up very hard or very firm pears and another recipe for your Gent night
I have to say that this was one of the best curries I've made in a long while.

spice powder
- Grind the following to a powder in a coffee grinder:
- ½ teaspoon white cumin
- ½ teaspoon fenugreek seeds
- 2 teaspoons of coriander
- 2 teaspoons of poppy seeds
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
curry
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or ghee
- A big pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
- 5 Cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
- 2.5 cm root ginger, peeled and grated
- 1 large red chilli, chopped into rings
- 450g (1lb) pumpkin or butternut squash flesh, peeled and cubed
- 2 firm pears, peeled, cored and cut into bite-sized chunks
- 30g mixed dried fruit of your choice
- 1 tablespoon curry paste
- 1 400g can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 300 ml vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon jaggery or brown sugar
add during the last 30 minutes of cooking
- 2 kiwi fruit, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
- 1 banana, sliced
Mise en place
Set your slow cooker to medium
Method
- Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan. Add the oil or ghee and a big pinch of black pepper
- Gently fry the onions for 4 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and fry for a further 2 minutes, stirring so the garlic does not burn
- Add chillies and spices and fry for a further minute
- Transfer the spice mix and the remaining ingredients (apart from the last two) into your slow cooker
- Mix very well and slow cook for 4 hours
- Add the kiwi fruit and sliced banana 30 minutes before the cooking is completed
- Add the stock, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the pumpkin is soft (about 20 to 40 minutes)
If the pears are soft then add them for the last 30 minutes so they don't go to mush.
Serving suggestions
Serve with homemade naan bread
Peeling ginger
There is no need to peel ginger. As a result of attending a Thai cookery demo, we have learnt that peeling ginger is unnecessary unless for aesthetic purposes as the skin is high in fibre and full of flavour. However, do remove any bits that have become tough or woody.
