Method

Wash and deseed the pumpkin and cut it into 2 cm cubes, skin on. Finely chop the onion, ginger and garlic.
Heat the coconut oil and soften the onion until translucent, then add the ginger, garlic, curry powder and turmeric and toast for 1 minute.
Add the pumpkin and coconut milk, season with salt and simmer for 15–18 minutes until the pumpkin is tender. Stir in the spinach until it wilts.

Season the curry with lime juice and serve on the cauliflower rice with coriander.

Why alkaline

100%alkaline-forming ingredients, estimated using PRAL logic

Pumpkin, spinach, cauliflower, coconut and spices are alkaline-forming — the cauliflower rice replaces rice, which counts as an acid-former.

Tip from the kitchen

The cauliflower rice also works on the coarse side of a box grater.

What “alkaline” means here. Alkaline-forming and acid-forming describe how a food is classified in the acid-base table (PRAL logic) — a calculated value, not a statement about effects in the body. The 80/20 rule of thumb — 80% alkaline-forming foods, 20% good acid-forming foods — is our experience-based model from the alkaline kitchen, not a diet plan. Bathmaster, not a doctor: these recipes are cooking, not therapy. Experience-based model
