For this Pumpkin Curry recipe I have used 1 tablespoon olive oil, half a red onion, 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, birds eye chillies and half a 12cm diameter pumpkin. This is no different to Amma's original recipe she used sunflower oil, white onion and black mustard seeds (which I am unable to find).
I have used red onion in this recipe I love the beautiful contrast between the bright yellow of the pumpkin and the red chilli combined with purple red onion. I have not supplied quantities for this recipe. Use your descretion depending on the quantity you wish to make.

Add cubed pieces of Pumpkin. Add a cup of water allowing the pumpkin to soften. Remove from heat and serve with rice, roti or phutu...or perhaps a 'Scandindian' Smørrebrød.
