Substitutions you can make to this recipe:

you can substitute the chickpeas with white beans or lentils
you can substitute the pumpkin with sweet potato or butternut squash
you can add any other vegetables you like, such as broccoli, red peppers, carrots, kale, cauliflower, potatoes or mushrooms
if you'd rather not use too much coconut milk, use can use just half the amount in the recipe below and substitute the other half with pumpkin purée! It's just as rich, sweet and creamy, without all the fat.
