I have a favorite Thai restaurant around these parts and they serve the most delicious pumpkin curry I’ve ever tasted.
Actually, I take that back. They serve the only pumpkin curry I’ve ever tasted.
But….it’s seriously one of those dishes that you wake up craving at 3am and one of those dishes that you don’t stop craving until drive across town the next day, order and devour. It’s spicy, rich and full of veggies, tofu and pumpkin. Or in this case, kabocha squash.
To make this curry, I ventured down the street to my local Asian market. Holy thai food goldmine! Why do I not shop here normally?! I was able to buy that tofu, the red curry paste, the coconut milk, the chilies, the thai basil and the lime leaves all for only five dollars. Best grocery trip of my life right there. Seriously…if you have never been to an Asian grocery store, now is the time!
Once I got home, throwing together this curry only took about half an hour (after roasting the squash, which you could easily do ahead of time) making it a perfect weeknight dinner.
Be on the watch that you use red curry paste, not sauce for this recipe! Trader Joe’s makes a tasty red curry sauce but what you really want is the concentrated flavor of the paste. Again, this was like….a dollar at Asia Mart. #win
You could also sub cooked chicken breast slices for the tofu in this recipe. I just made it with tofu because that’s what I ordered last Friday night at my Thai place.
SO GOOD.
Seriously, I wanted to drink this sauce with a straw. It’s definitely the closet to “authentic” Thai curry I’ve ever gotten at home. You must make this!!! Really…if you were debating making the pad thai I made last week, make this instead. Then make that next week. And invite me over for dinner.
Thai Red Curry with Kabocha Squash
serves 4
Ingredients:
1 large kabocha squash
8 oz firm tofu, cut into bite sized chunks
1 large handful green beans, cut in half
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 kaffir lime leaves, torn (check your local Asian market for these)
6 Thai basil leaves, chopped (check your local Asian market for these, too)
1 tbsp canola oil
3 tbsp red thai curry paste (not sauce…paste)
1 (15-oz) can coconut milk
1/4 cup water
1 tbsp fish sauce
2 tsp brown sugar
2 red thai chilies, pierced several times with a knife
cooked jasmine rice for serving
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Drizzle olive oil on a foil lined sheet tray. Slice kabocha squash, remove seeds, and place cut-side down on the sheet tray. Roast squash halves for about 30 minutes until tender. Remove and let cool completely.
In a large pot or deep pan, heat the canola oil over medium high heat. Add the curry paste and mash into hot oil so all the paste gets incorporated. Then, slowly drizzle in the coconut milk, whisking continuously until all milk has been added and no curry “clumps” remain.
Add water, torn kaffir lime leaves, thai basil, fish sauce, brown sugar and thai red chilies and bring to a simmer. Add red bell peppers and green bean halves and continue simmering sauce for about 15 minutes until vegetables are just cooked but not mushy.
Peel or slice kabocha squash away from peel. Chop into large chunks and add along with the tofu to the curry sauce. Serve curry over jasmine rice (don’t eat the chilies!).
Time:
1.25 hours (includes time to roast the squash)

October 26, 2011 at 4:05 amOh my goodness, I love spicy asian dishes! And kabocha squash!?! Instant childhood memories right there (my mother is Japanese). I can’t wait to make this! I may even use my “lunch break” to venture out to Chinatown to find these ingredients. Super yum yum. Thanks for sharing!
Karlee
October 26, 2011 at 4:11 amdo you think it would still be good without fish sauce? i have been looking for a good veg curry recipe!
jenna
October 26, 2011 at 8:09 amhmm I think you need the fish sauce…you could try but the little bit of fish sauce is what really makes it taste “authentic”
Ella, RD
October 26, 2011 at 9:33 amI have to agree – the fish sauce totally makes the curry. I have a Thai chicken curry recipe that I love (http://tinyurl.com/3ezzazu), which you could totally sub tofu in for the chicken, but the one time I didn’t have fish sauce it tasted like a completely different dish. The fish sauce really adds something.
laua@yahoo.com
March 3, 2012 at 5:42 pmI’ve been making a ton a thai food, all vegan- so no fish sauce. A Thai friend of mine suggested that I use Dark Mushroom Soy Sauce to sub for the fish sauce….this works pretty good! Great for veganizing 🙂
Kelly
March 8, 2012 at 8:40 pmWell, you may want to check the label of the thai red curry paste because some of them are made with shrimp paste.
Christina
September 17, 2017 at 2:07 pmHi~ I made this just last night and omitted the fish sauce. It was amazing. I highly recommend you try it.

October 26, 2011 at 4:15 amHow cool! I am loving the colour and recipe!! Defs something I want to try 🙂
Emmy (Wine and Butter)
October 26, 2011 at 4:17 amI LOVE squash in curries and chillies!! This looks super good!
I also love pumpkin but Im amazed any home chefs take the time and effort to deal with it… I mean really!?!
Jen
October 26, 2011 at 5:12 amWhy would it take more time and effort? Roasting pumpkin takes the same time and effort of the Kabocha squash I assume. Or less if you just open a can!
Katrina
October 26, 2011 at 4:24 amI haven’t tried kabocha squash so this sounds really interesting to me. Love it!

October 26, 2011 at 4:30 amThat looks delicious! I just made my first curry and it was a success. Would love to try a red curry.
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga
October 26, 2011 at 4:36 amJenna this looks amazing! And yes, I could totally drink that sauce with a straw, too. And I liked how you said make this meal rather than last week’s Asian meal.
And I’ve never had pumpkin curry either…it sounds amazing.
Asian markets are the best for cheap and unique finds, too. Love them!

October 26, 2011 at 4:38 amI need to google this kabocha squash that you’re all about. I’m not 100% sure what they even look like!

October 26, 2011 at 5:17 amSounds delicious Jenna! Going to the Asian market is something I’ve been meaning to do for ages now too. Have you ever been to Ar Roi Thai Cuisine in San Francisco? I ate there twice when I was traveling last week – ordered the same thing both times because it was SO good! They did have a spicy pumpkin dish on the menu too, and had I had time to go back a third time, I would have been all over it!

Shana
October 26, 2011 at 6:53 amI love kabocha squash! There are so many in Sonoma County this time of year. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
I’m not sure if you have ever tried growing your own Thai Basil or Kaffir lime, but I thought I would mention it since I am in Santa Rosa too and I have discovered they both grow GREAT here! My basil is just about done for the season, but I had so much Thai basil all summer for curries and pho. You can also grown the Kaffir lime tree in a pot and just protect it when it gets cold/frosty. Having both on hand sure saves trips to the Asia Mart!
Hilliary@HappilyEverHealthy

Morgan
October 26, 2011 at 7:09 amHey Jenna,
Just wondering if you know of an alternative to using coconut milk to make curry? I LOVE curry, but am allergic to any form of coconut. 🙁 I’ve searched for alternatives, but nothing really has worked out well.
jenna
October 26, 2011 at 8:05 amOh no! I’ve never made curry without coconut milk but you could try almond milk and see what happens? it won’t be as thick but you could totally try it! Let me know how it goes!
Katherine
October 26, 2011 at 8:54 amRice milk might work. It has a similar consistancy. Or make some almond cream so that it is thick like coconut milk! Use an almond milk recipe, but cut the water amount in half.
Laura
October 27, 2011 at 12:50 amMorgan: Try stirring in Greek yoghurt at the end instead. I always use it instead of coconut milk, I actually prefer it. 🙂
Morgan
October 27, 2011 at 7:11 pmThanks for all the suggestions! I have Greek yogurt, so I’ll definitely give that a try. @ Katherine- almond cream? care to share a recipe?

October 26, 2011 at 7:36 amGah, anything with curry sauce pretty much owns my soul. I usually go for yellow curries, but I’ll have to hunt down that red curry paste. I live near a little vietnam district in Orlando, and there are Oriental markets on every corner. Looks like something I’ll have to check out on a Saturday when I have some extra time!

October 26, 2011 at 10:52 amJenna,
I’ve been reading your blog faithfully for the past couple months and tried several of your recipes, including the Pad Thai. So good! I miss all the delicious international restaurants in the Bay Area, but now that I live in Iowa I’m finding it rewarding to make my own. Thanks for all the great recipes, and keep up the good work! Will definitely try this one, because what could be better than Thai curry with squash? Not much!
Stephie
October 26, 2011 at 10:54 amSeriously, Asian food markets are the best. We always buy our rice there (obviously the best rice ever) and I could spend hours just wandering up and down the aisles, looking at all of the fun things to buy and try. Oh wait…I DO do that.
Adrianna from A Cozy Kitchen
October 26, 2011 at 11:18 amHOLY OMG! This looks amazing. I really need to take a trek to the Asian markets here in LA. We have some good ones. This really does look like the perfect weeknight meal!
Melanie
October 26, 2011 at 12:15 pmHahahaha! I really WAS debating whether to make your pad thai or this when I saw it–I knew I wanted something spicy and vegetarian, but your pictures convinced me! I am so excited for my food tonight. Thank you Jenna!!!!!

October 26, 2011 at 1:34 pmJust got a pie pumpkin from my CSA last week and was planning to track down a recipe for pumpkin curry. You’ve saved me so much time and effort. I used to live in Rohnert Park (Sonoma County) and there was a Thai place there (actually in Cotati next to Oliver’s) that had amazing pumpkin curry. I’ve been thinking about it ever since I moved to Colorado. Can’t find it here in a restaurant so I will have to take matters into my own hands. Thank you!

October 26, 2011 at 6:24 pmI had a similarly pleasant surprise when I went to an Indian market to buy chutney ingredients. I was psyched to get tumeric, garam masala, kalonji seeds and fennel seeds for less than $10 total!
Sharon
October 26, 2011 at 6:25 pmI lurve pumpkin curry-this and pad thai are pretty much my favorite thai foods to order…also green papaya salad, and thai iced tea! You must spill which Asian market you went to in Santa Rosa, so I can go stat and get all my ingredients 🙂 Also if you wanted to stick to pumpkin, would the prep directions be the same? squash is squash?
jenna
October 26, 2011 at 6:28 pmI love Asia Mart on guerneville road….and yes, the pumpkin would be the exact same prep as the kabocha squash!
Emily
October 26, 2011 at 6:38 pmThis dish looks and sounds sensational! You can’t go wrong with the combination of curry and kabocha- two of my favorite food items right now!
Thanks for sharing the recipe. (:

November 3, 2012 at 6:16 pmJust made this but I found that 1 large kabocha squash was too much, my pot looked nothing like yours, I had way too much squash on top of the liquid. Plus after coming out the oven it wasn’t cooked all the way through so I had to leave it in the pot for quite some time to cook the hard pieces and beans. Did you use the whole squash?
Mary @ Fit and Fed
November 5, 2012 at 9:16 pmHit up the huge Asian grocery here (Uwajimaya) for kabocha squash, Thai basil, and galangal, made a similar curry, but it was lacking compared to the restaurant entree I was trying to duplicate. I did use Thai red chilis and cumin but not any Thai red curry paste or fish or soy sauce. Next time I’ll Vitamix the spices with the coconut milk before simmering everything, I think that will help. Also, I need to use some fish sauce as you suggest, or very savory soy sauce. Some lemongrass and/or kaffir lime leaves would have been good too, I only used a fresh lime.
Laura
November 30, 2012 at 10:15 pmI finally made this tonight and OMG it is amazing! It also took surprisingly little time to come together which is always a bonus. Like the commenter above I did find that a whole kabocha was too much so I only added half and it was perfect.

January 12, 2014 at 2:18 pmCan I use oyster sauce instead of fish sauce?
Lucine Drake
September 23, 2014 at 1:42 pmAgreed that one entire kabocha would be too much. I just added half and find that to be perfectly sufficient. Now I can prepare something different with the other half. I wonder if what you consider to be a “large” kabocha may differ based on where you live and how large they get in your neck of the woods? I’m near Seattle. May I suggest you use a weight reference for your recommended amount of squash versus “1 large” as I can see how it wouldn’t have turned out very nicely if I had used the whole thing.

November 2, 2014 at 9:54 amHoly Thai flavor. This is a super yummy dish. I sub’d panang curry paste and butternut squash because it’s what I had on-hand, still this dish was amazing! I was worried about the spice but the squash really mellows it out and gives you nice, slow burn. I added mushrooms and baby corn to the dish because they’re great in Thai dishes. I think this recipe takes less effort and packs much more flavor than some of my previous attempts at similar curries. I will definitely make this again. 🙂
