8 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Pumpkin, peeled & cubed

3 tablespoons Onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon Oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon
½ teaspoon Cloves
1 teaspoon Salt

Fry the onion into oil until golden. Combine with the pumpkin & the sweet potatoes in a heavy pot. Add lemon juice, cloves, salt & 1 c coconut milk. Cover & simmer for 10 minutes.

Uncover, stir gently & add cinnamon. Cook a further 15 to 20 minutes. Stir often to prevent sticking. Add more milk if necessary.
