Instructions
- Place the pumpkin cubes in a pot with the turmeric and cover with water (around 1 cup). Cover and bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and let cook until the pumpkin is tender, around 5-7 minutes depending on the size of the pieces.
- Meanwhile, put the coconut, chili and cumin in a small food processor and pulse them together to a rough paste. Alternatively, grate the coconut, finely chop the chili and grind them with the cumin with a pestle and mortar.
- Once the pumpkin has cooked, drain it and mash. Add the coconut-chili paste and mix through. Leave over a low heat to cook slightly.
- Meanwhile, dry toast the 2 tablespoon coconut in a skillet to be gently brown and set aside (this is to top at the end).
- Add the oil to the skillet and add the mustard seeds and shallot slices/onion. Cook for a couple minutes to start softening then add the curry leaves and chili. Cook for a few more minutes - the onion should be at least very soft if not gently browned.
- Add the onion and spices to the pumpkin, stir through and cook another minute or two then serve, topped with the toasted coconut (or stir it through).
