Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pumpkin (Kaddoo)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 2 units Green chilies
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 50 milliliters Water
Instructions
Wash and peel the pumpkin (kaddoo). Remove seeds and cut into small cubes of about 1-inch size.
Finely chop the ginger and green chilies. Clean and roughly chop the fresh cilantro.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds to the hot oil. Allow them to splutter for a few seconds.
Add the chopped ginger and slit green chilies. Sauté the mixture for a minute until the ginger becomes aromatic.
Add the curry leaves, and then add the cubed pumpkin.
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt over the pumpkin pieces. Stir to coat the pumpkin evenly with the spices.
Pour 50 milliliters of water into the pan, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Cook for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the pumpkin is soft and tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Once the pumpkin is cooked, remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Stir fry for another 2 to 3 minutes to evaporate excess moisture.
Turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve warm as a side dish with chapati or rice, enjoying the nutritious and heart-healthy flavors.
