Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
Rub the pumpkin with the oil and sprinkle with the salt, chilli powder, ground coriander and ground cumin.
Add to a large roasting tin along with the onion, tomatoes and garlic.
Roast for 1-1½ hours, turning every 30 minutes to make sure everything is soft and caramelised.
Once the vegetables are tender, tip everything from the roasting tin into a food processor and blend with the coconut milk until smooth.
Pour into a large saucepan or casserole and keep warm.
Season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if needed to thin the soup.
To make the tarka, heat the oil in the smallest saucepan you have and add the cumin seeds.
Once they start to pop, add the black mustard seeds, garlic and chillies.
Cook for 1 minute until the garlic is just lightly browned then take off the heat.
Immediately spoon the tarka over the soup and cover with a lid.
Leave for 5 minutes before mixing the tarka into the soup and serving.
