Pumpkin becomes naturally velvety when blended, so only a small splash of coconut milk is needed. Ginger and cumin keep the sweetness balanced and make this a cosy monsoon or winter bowl.

Kitchen notes
Roast the pumpkin first for a deeper flavour when time allows.
Freeze before adding coconut milk, then add it while reheating.
