Method:

Brown the mutton and onions in a warm, greased pot until the juice runs from the meat.
Pack the potatoes on top, then add the peeled, cubed pumpkin.
Add the soy sauce. (Sometimes, if I get hold of a big pumpkin, I place half of it in the pot, hollow side down.)
Leave to simmer till the potatoes are done.
Add salt, cinnamon, herbs and gravy powder.
Stir and serve with rice.
