Pumpkin and broad bean coconut curry

Pumpkin and broad bean coconut curry

This pumpkin curry is a simple base that can be adapted to lots of different vegetables and meats. I have used broad beans here as they are in season now. Try to get the smaller pods if possible, as they will be more tender and you won't have to double skin them.
