Pumpkin curry at Baan Thai, 741 Massachusetts St.

With Thanksgiving officially over and more holiday feasts on the way, pumpkin heyday is in full swing. For those who can’t get enough of the festive vegetable, here’s something a little out of the ordinary: pumpkin curry at Baan Thai.

Soft chunks of pumpkin float in a bowl of panang curry alongside meat (choose from chicken, pork or tofu; beef or shrimp can be substituted for $1) and bell peppers, served with a cup of steamed rice.

Grandma’s pie it is not, but the sweet, mild dish is still a fitting meal for chilly winter days.
