Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan, add the onion and cook over a medium heat until soft, about 4 minutes. Add ginger, cumin, mustard seeds, ground coriander and cook, stirring constantly.

Add the pumpkin and stock and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low, add chopped parsley and simmer, uncover for 20 minutes or until pumpkin is tender, you might want to add a little more stock at this stage and if you do cook for another 10 minutes.
