Come home to this slow-cooker curry with pumpkin, lentils and coconut
It's a well-known fact that curries get better with age. The spices have time to blend and attune to the task at hand — making the curry taste incredible. This dish draws inspiration from South Asian flavours, with tamarind providing a tangy twist that nods to South-East Asian cuisine. Hearty lentils, creamy coconut, and the sweetness of pumpkin elevate this curry to a league of its own. But the real magic happens at the end, when you make a quick tadka: sizzling ghee infused with garlic, curry leaves, and mustard seeds, finished off with fresh tomatoes for a burst of brightness. Cooking this in a slow cooker is a game-changer. The low, steady heat gives the spices time to meld and the lentils and pumpkin time to soften to perfection. Set it and forget, it's ready when you are.

Healthy demand — pumpkin production on the rise in Qassim
BURAIDAH: It may be classed as a fruit, but pumpkin has become a key ingredient in cuisines around the world, thanks to its versatility and nutritional value. And in Qassim, thanks to a favorable climate and agricultural conditions coupled with rising local demand, pumpkin production is enjoying significant growth. Recorded health benefits of eating pumpkin include enhanced vision and better immunity. It also supports heart health, helps weight loss and promotes healthy skin and hair, as well as providing important nutrients and being low in calories. Farmer Saleh bin Hamad Al-Saab spoke to the media about his experience of growing the fruit. Possible, beneficial and promising 'Pumpkin cultivation in Qassim is not only possible, but also beneficial and promising,' he said. 'There are different kinds, including field pumpkin, butternut squash, kabocha squash, and even spaghetti squash, which is gaining increasing popularity.' Each variety has its own uses and benefits. Field pumpkin is used in soups and baked goods, while butternut squash is a rich source of beta-carotene and spaghetti squash is a healthier alternative to pasta. As for white pumpkin, it is especially popular for festive decorations and seasonal occasions. Al-Saab said that as pumpkin did not need huge amounts of water or pesticides to grow successfully, and it could be stored for long periods without deteriorating, it was considered a promising economic crop. Drip irrigation systems and the cultivation of diverse varieties have also significantly enhanced crop quality and boosted productivity. The farmer highlighted the public's growing awareness of pumpkin as a healthy food choice and said there were a number of opportunities to develop other industries around the crop, such as juices, dehydrated foods and cosmetics. This promising crop supports local food safety and achieves notable economic revenues, reflecting the agricultural sector's role in meeting the Kingdom's sustainable development targets.
