Curried Pumpkin Breads Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8x4 inch loaf pans.
• In a large bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, white sugar, pumpkin puree, oil, coconut milk, baking soda, salt, ground nutmeg and ground cinnamon. Mix until all of the flour is gone. Fold in the nuts and flaked coconut. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cover loaves with foil tightly. Allow to steam for 10 minutes. Remove foil and turn out onto a cooling rack. Tent lightly with the foil and allow to cool completely.

Steps:

• For the iced tea: Pour 4 cups boiling water over teabags in a heatproof pitcher and allow to brew, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove teabags and add sweetener to taste. Stir in 6 cups ice cubes until melted. Keep refrigerated until ready to use. Makes two quarts.
• For the raita: Whisk the yogurt, lime zest, cayenne and a pinch of salt together in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk in enough water to make the yogurt barely pourable. Stir the cucumber and mint into the yogurt. Set aside.
• For the burgers: Preheat a grill for cooking over medium-high heat. Cut the lettuce into thin strips and coarsely chop the cilantro leaves. Toss together in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, about 4 minutes. Add the bell peppers, zucchini and 1 teaspoon of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and beginning to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the curry powder, garam masala, and ground ginger and cook, stirring, 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate and refrigerate for about 5 minutes to cool.
• While the vegetables cool, stir together the chickpeas and pumpkin in a medium bowl. Add the cooled vegetables, breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper and stir with a rubber spatula until combined.
• Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each portion into a patty. Rub oil on the grill grates and place the patties on the grill. Grill 6 minutes on each side, then transfer to a plate.
• Place a dollop of raita on the bottoms of the buns, then top with a patty, another dollop of the raita, some of the lettuce and cilantro mix and cover with the bun tops. Serve with lime wedges and iced tea.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease 2 8x4-inch loaf pans.

Steps:

• Into a bowl sift together the flour, the cornmeal, the baking powder, the baking soda, and the sugar. In a skillet cook the onion with the curry powder, the ground cumin, the cayenne, and the salt in 2 tablespoons of the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until it is soft, let the mixture cool, and stir in the cuminseed. In a large bowl whisk together the pumpkin purée, the eggs, the buttermilk, the onion mixture, and the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, melted, add the flour mixture, and stir the batter until it is just combined. Divide the batter among 4 buttered and floured loaf pans, each 5 3/4 by 3 1/4 by 2 inches, and bake the breads in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Remove the breads from the pans and let them cool, right sides up, on a rack. The breads keep, wrapped well in plastic wrap and foil, chilled for 1 week or frozen for 1 month.

• Heat olive oil and add mushrooms, and onions. Cook until tender.

• Add curry leaves and cook 5 seconds, then pour mixture into pumpkin soup.

• They reflect the heat better.
