The slightly sweet flavor of the pumpkin is offset by the heat from the chillies . Serve it with hot Chapatis (Indian flatbread).
Ingredients:
- 750 gms pumpkin seeds removed, cut into 1" cubes (I prefer Jap pumpkin)
- 2 tbsps vegetable/ canola/ sunflower cooking oil
- 3 dry red chillies (Kashmiri chillies)
- 4-5 curry leaves (Karripatta)
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
- 1/2 tsp sugar (if required)
- 2-3 tsp Coriander powder (Dhania powder)
- Salt to taste
Preparation:
- Heat the oil in a flat pan and add the cumin and curry leaves and fry till spluttering stops.
- Add the dry red chillies and fry for half a minute.
- Add the ginger, tumeric powder and chilli powder and fry for about 2 minutes.
- Add the pumpkin, coriander powder and season with salt. Cover the pan with a lid.
- Cook till the pumpkin is soft. Sprinkle with a little water only if needed.
- Serve with hot Chapatis (Indian flatbread).
