In a separate pot, heat some oil and add chopped onion to sauté until fragrant.

4

Add fresh corn kernels, grated from the cob, to the pot with the onion.

5

Incorporate roasted pumpkin into the corn mixture for creaminess.

6

Cook the mixture on low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

If the mixture starts to stick, switch to a different pot to avoid burning.
