water, salt, sugar, tomato sauce, ginger, coriander and pepper in
a bowl then add to pumpkin mixture in fry pan. Cover and cook 20-25

Peeling a raw pumpkin is very difficult. I suggest using a very sharp chef's knife. Try not to slice your hand off. Also, if you cut the pumpkin into 2-3" cubes as per recipe it will take about two hours to fully cook. Perhaps smaller bits are in order. Mint goes with sweet pumpkin/tomato very well. One 12" pumpkin makes enough for 20 people.

Use recipe as a guide - benefits from adding hot peppers or dried hot pepper flakes. Smaller pumpkin pieces also nice.
