  • 2cm piece fresh ginger, peeled, finely grated
  • 5.00 gm ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1.5kg butternut pumpkin, peeled, cut into 4cm pieces
  • 550g eggplant
  • 2 medium red capsicums, cut into 2cm pieces

Turn up the heat to medium-high, add the pumpkin, and cook for 5 minutes until it starts to soften, stirring occasionally.
