  1. Heat a wok, large frying pan or pot over medium-high heat. Drizzle in oil and swirl around, then add the shallot/onion, ginger, and garlic. Stir-fry 1-2 minutes. While stir-frying, add the dry spices: chili, coriander, ground cumin, turmeric, and bay leaves.

  2. Add stock, tomato puree/ketchup, coconut milk and soy sauce. Stir to blend, then add pumpkin/squash. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer (medium-low). Simmer 5 minutes.

  3. Add sweet potato and continue simmering another 3 minutes. Add green beans and snow peas and simmer another 5 minutes.

  4. Add tomato plus whole cumin seed. Continue simmering another 3 minutes or until vegetables are cooked to your liking.

  5. Taste-test the curry, adding more salt or soy sauce if not salty/flavorful enough. If too salty or sweet, add a squeeze fresh lime or lemon juice. Add a little sugar if you'd like a sweeter curry. More chili can be added for more spice.

  6. Transfer to a serving dish and top with fresh basil. Serve with plenty of Thai jasmine rice . Also delicious with Thai Coconut Rice (or Thai Brown Coconut Rice ). ENJOY!

  7. Other Vegetable Possibilities: I also love okra in this dish (note that okra needs as much cooking as the pumpkin/squash). Other possibilities include zucchini, carrots, and chopped cabbage (cabbage should be added right at the end).
