Add ginger to powerful blender, e.g. a Thermomix® at speed 10 for 2 sec until paste-like consistency

Add peeled garlic cloves ca. 10g and process speed 7 for 1sec

Speed 5 for 5sec until it looks rather shredded. Possible with a good cutting technique and a very good knife.

Pour oil through opening in lid of tmx. Unless you have prepared everything manually or don't have a tmx, now is the time to add your onion-garlic-ginger mix to a pot, large enough to fit at least three liters of liquid with a good amount of oil

Rince, destem, deseed and dice pumpkin. My favorite is hokkaido pumpkin because you can use skin and all to cut up. If you haven't got a blender or tmx, please follow steps of my steaming fresh pumpkin recipe now
