BROWN THE VEG
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion and the pumpkin chunks until browned and starting to soften, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally).
SPICY TOMATO SAUCE
Add the tomato paste, the Jamaican Fish Spice, and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Stir through the cooked chopped tomato, a sweetener and 200ml of water. Simmer until reduced and thickening, 8-10 minutes.
CRISPY Poppadom
While the sauce is reducing, place a clean pan over a medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, shallow fry the Poppadom, about 30 seconds per side. As soon as the poppadom starts to curl, use tongs to flip it over and flatten it out. Keep flipping and flattening until golden and puffed up. Alternatively, heat the poppadom in the microwave until crispy, 20-30 seconds.
FLAKY HAKE
When the sauce has 5 minutes remaining, submerge the hake pieces into the sauce and simmer for the remaining time until cooked through and flaking. Remove from the heat, season and drizzle over the lime juice.
