👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Toast pumpkin seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant. Let cool, then grind into a fine paste using a food processor or mortar and pestle, adding a little water if needed to achieve a smooth consistency.
2
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
4
Stir in the curry powder and optional chili pepper, and cook for 30 seconds.
5
Add the diced tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6
Pour in the water or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
7
Add the ground pumpkin seed paste to the pot, stirring well to combine. Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
8
Add the chopped leafy greens to the pot. Stir them into the stew and cook until wilted and tender, about 5-10 minutes, depending on the type of greens.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasonings as needed.
