You'll need

  • 2 cups red pumpkin, peeled and cubed

  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds

Method

  1. Heat ghee in a pot, add cumin seeds, then the onion, and sauté until soft.
  2. Add the pumpkin and ginger, and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add 2 cups water, cover and simmer until the pumpkin is completely soft, about 15 minutes.
  4. Blend until smooth, adjust salt and pepper, and serve hot.

Why this dish

Pumpkin's naturally sweet, grounding quality paired with warming ginger is a classical Ayurvedic combination for a dinner that settles rather than stimulates.
