A delightful twist on a classic mashed pumpkin dish, enhanced with aromatic spices and a creamy texture.
Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until melted.
Using butter adds a rich flavor to the dish, but you can substitute with olive oil for a lighter option.
Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent.
Ensure the onion is diced evenly for consistent cooking.
Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Add the cumin seeds and paprika, stirring until aromatic.
Toasting the spices enhances their flavor and aroma.
Mix in the diced pumpkin and sauté for a couple of minutes.
Cut the pumpkin into small, even pieces for quicker cooking.
Pour in a small amount of water, cover, and cook until the pumpkin is tender.
Check occasionally to ensure the pumpkin doesn't stick to the pan.
Mash the cooked pumpkin until smooth.
For a creamier texture, you can use a blender or food processor.
