Ingredients
- 8 oz pumpkin (8oz is approx 2 cups when grated)
- 1 tablespoon ghee or unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoon milk
- ¼ cup sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cardamon
Instructions
- Peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds and and sticky stringy bits from the middle. Grate it coarsely.
- Melt the ghee or butter in a medium skillet over a medium heat then add the pumpkin. Cook for a few minutes, stirring now and then until it has softened. Don't rush this bit, you should see it change color.
- Add the milk and stir it in so that it is absorbed, then add the sugar and cardamon. Stir in and cook for a few minutes until glossy-looking but not wet. You can serve it warm or chilled.
Notes
- Note - this makes it with a bit of texture, you can also make it more of a puree by adding a little more milk, covering and steaming a few minutes and then mashing before adding sugar etc.
