Sarah says: “This pumpkin curry is perfect for Autumn! It is bursting with sweet and earthy flavours that are typical of the season. It is super filling and heart warming which is great for when the weather is getting colder. It is also full of goodness and nutrition though, making it the perfect, healthy October dinner.”
