Notes
Pumpkin puree is very easy to make at home. Peel and dice 500 gms of pumpkin. This would yield approximately 250 gms of puree. Steam in a saucepan with a tightly covered lid, for about 20 minutes. You can mash it with a fork or blend it in your blender to get a smooth puree.
Pumpkin spice – combine the following spices:
1 tbsp cinnamon powder
1.5 tsp ginger powder
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
