cookbook challenge: potato & pumpkin curry

3 weeks ago I started with my cookbook challenge, so here are the first recipes I tried out^^

I started with two vegetarian curries because I still had a pumpkin at home and pumpkin is one of the best ingredients for curry I think^.^
I like both dishes quite much! Though in the second I would have prefered normal tomatoes to the cocktail ones. They don't taste very good when they are heated up.
(I just have to get better in making delicious looking food and photos^^;)
