Garbanzo and Pumpkin Curry with Rice

Start by preparing the rice if you don't have any already made. To do this, add a tablespoon of olive oil in a pot, and once it is hot, add the sliced clove of garlic. When it begins to lightly brown, add the rice. Stir it for a couple of minutes before adding the hot water with a pinch of salt. Cook over high heat for 7 minutes and then turn down the heat to low and cook for 8 more minutes. If in this time, it absorbed all of the water and is still hard, add more water. Let it sit for a little bit.

Finely chop the onion and dice the pumpkin into medium size pieces.

Add olive oil to a large pan. Add the onion and pumpkin when the oil is hot and sauté for approximately 5 minutes.

Add the cumin and curry to the pan. Sauté for 1 more minute before pouring in the coconut milk, garbanzos, and salt. Stir and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Lower the heat to low when it begins to boil and cook for 15 minutes. Serve in a bowl or on a plate alongside the rice you have made.
