  • Start by prepping all the vegetables. Peel, wash, and dice the pumpkin. Peel and wash the onion and carrots; finely chop the onion and cut the carrots into medium pieces. Peel the garlic and press it or grate it finely. Rinse the chicken breast, pat it dry with a paper towel, and cut it into small cubes. Heat about half the vegetable oil in a skillet and add half the diced pumpkin. Fry the pumpkin until golden, then pour in the sour cream and chicken broth (vegetable broth works too). Stir and cover the pan. Simmer the pumpkin over low heat for 20–25 minutes, until it's soft enough to pierce easily with a fork. Add the curry powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper, and stir well. Cover again and simmer for 10 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and transfer everything to a blender (or food processor). Blend on low until smooth—this is the sauce for the finished dish. Now move on to braising the vegetables and chicken. Add oil to the empty skillet and add the chopped onion, carrot, garlic, chicken breast, and the remaining diced pumpkin. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Pour in the pumpkin-sour cream sauce and stir well so every piece of vegetable and meat is coated. Squeeze the lime juice over the top and stir again. Cover the pan and simmer the pumpkin, vegetables, and chicken over low heat for 30–40 minutes. When it's done, spoon it onto plates, sprinkle with finely chopped parsley, and serve! Enjoy!
