Ingredients
1/2 small Hokkaido pumpkin
100ml coconut milk
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp yeast flakes
100ml strained tomatoes
Garam Masala or other spice mix/paste of your choice
Fresh spices of your choice (e.g. coriander, chives, basil, parsley...)
Additional vegetables of your choice (e.g. broccoli, peas, eggplant, zucchini, cauliflower...)
Brown rice or millet
Preparation
Remove the seeds from the pumpkin and cut it into pieces (no need to peel it)
Marinate pumpkin with liquid coconut oil, salt, pepper, paprika powder
Bake the pumpkin for about 20-25 minutes in the oven or 10-15 minutes in the air fryer until soft
Meanwhile, cook wholegrain rice/millet
Meanwhile, fry vegetables in coconut oil (do not overcook)
Blend 3/4 of the baked pumpkin with coconut milk, strained tomatoes, tomato paste, yeast flakes, 1 tsp garam masala, cayenne pepper, salt, and a little water (add enough water to make it creamy and not too runny).
Mix pumpkin sauce with the vegetables and heat everything again
Serve wholegrain rice with vegetables in pumpkin sauce and garnish with remaining pumpkin pieces and fresh herbs
