Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups pumpkin, peeled and cubed
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

Instructions

  3. In a large pot, sauté diced onion in oil until soft. Add garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant.
