Made this for dinner on Saturday night, it was so quick and easy. I'd never used green peppercorns in a curry before and it was really different but tasted lovely. I love pumpkin in curry so it was great to find this recipe. Thanks for posting Jewelies, another winner. Made for Aus/Kiwi Recipe Swap June 2009.
