Prepare the vegetables
Finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves. Peel and grate the ginger. Cut the pumpkin into 1-inch cubes.
Rinse the lentils
Rinse the red lentils under cold running water until the water runs clear. Drain the lentils and set them aside.
Sauté the onion
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic, ginger, and spices
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add pumpkin, lentils, and liquids
Add the pumpkin cubes, rinsed lentils, coconut milk, and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Simmer the curry
Bring the curry to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils and pumpkin are tender.
Add lime juice and adjust seasoning
Squeeze the juice of the lime into the pot. Stir to combine. Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve hot
Serve the lentil and pumpkin curry hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired. Enjoy with steamed rice or warm naan bread.
