Add chopped pumpkin (about a quarter of a pumpkin) to the pan and mix everything together.

Pour in 1 to 2 cups of water, cover the pan, and leave it to cook until the pumpkin is soft, checking and adding more water if needed.

Once the water reduces and the pumpkin is tender, crush the pumpkin as if making mashed potatoes, or cook until tender and serve with rice or roti.
