One Pot Thai Pumpkin Curry (vegan, gluten-free)

Curries are probably one of my favorite easy meals to make because it can be made in one pot and very customizable. I usually just throw in whatever veggies I have in my fridge that I need to use up. This one pot Thai pumpkin curry is so creamy, flavorful, and filling.
