2 c Sweet potatoes, cubed

3 tb Onion, finely chopped

1 tb Oil

Juice of 1/2 lemon 1/2 ts Cloves

1 ts Salt

1 1/2 c Coconut milk

1 ts Cinnamon

Fry the onion into oil until golden. Combine with the pumpkin & the sweet potatoes in a heavy pot. Add lemon juice, cloves, salt & 1 c coconut milk. Cover & simmer for 10 minutes. Uncover, stir gently & add cinnamon. Cook a further 15 to 20 minutes. Stir often to prevent sticking. Add more milk if necessary.
