Gather the ingredients: pumpkin, carrots, garlic, onions, sweet pepper, hot pepper, okra, coconut milk, ketchup, paprika, black pepper, green seasoning, and salt.

Boil water in a pot and add the okra to it.

Once the okra has boiled down, add the coconut milk and cover the pot to allow it to cook.

After cooking, use a hand blender to blend the mixture until smooth.

Add a piece of cheese to the blended mixture and allow it to melt before serving.
