How to Make It
Step 1
Pat dry the meat. Cut into bite-sized pieces. Grease a large pan with coconut oil and heat up over medium heat. Add the meat and cook for 10 minutes, turning the meat occasionally. Using a slotted spoon, remove the meat from the pan.
Step 2
Finely dice the onion and garlic. Add the onion, garlic, fresh ginger, jalapeno, curry powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, pepper, and celery. Mix all well. Cook for another 8-10 minutes.
Step 3
Add the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, and heavy cream. Stir well, and continue to cook for a couple of minutes more. Optionally, taste and adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
Step 4
Cut the broccoli into small, bite-sized florets. Thinly slice the mushrooms. Add the prepared meat, mushrooms, and broccoli. Drizzle lime juice over everything and stir well. Cover with the lid and simmer over medium-low heat until broccoli and mushrooms are completely tender.
Step 5
Transfer curry to serving bowls. Optionally, season with some more salt, or add a few drops of lime juice. Garnish with lime wedges and chopped parsley or cilantro. Optionally serve with Greek yogurt.
