  • In another large bowl, beat the eggs and add the pumpkin purée.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients until fully combined.
  • Gradually mix in the evaporated milk to create a smooth filling.
  • Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie crust.

Why Add Makhir Ginger?

Unlike typical ginger powders, Makhir Ginger adds depth and a gentle citrusy heat to desserts. It is grown in the hills of Meghalaya and has a bold, warm flavor.

FAQs: Spiced Makhir Ginger Pumpkin Pie

Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned?
Yes, just roast and mash the pumpkin until smooth. Aim for a similar consistency to canned purée.

How do I know the pie is done?
Insert a knife into the center. If it comes out clean, it's ready. The pie should jiggle slightly when shaken but not be watery.

Can I make this pie vegan?
Try using flax eggs, coconut milk, and a plant-based crust for a vegan variation.

Does Makhir Ginger overpower the pie?
Not at all. It blends with pumpkin spice, adding warmth and brightness without being overwhelming.
