Pumpkin Curry

This delicious pumpkin curry is very easy to make and goes well with roti and rice. Everyone in my family loves this curry. I usually serve it with phulkas (puffed rotis). Since this is a sweet curry, kids love it.

Pumpkin cooks easily and this curry doesn’t require too much supervision.

Servings: 3
Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 cups pumpkin, cut into small cubes
• 2 green chillies, finely chopped
• 4 tbsp cilantro (coriander leaves), finely chopped
• 1 tsp ginger, grated
• 3 tsp urad dal (split black gram)
• 1 tsp mustard seeds (rai)
• 1 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
• 5-6 tsp vegetable oil

Preparation

1. Heat oil in a wide skillet. Add urad dal and fry. As the dal starts to brown, add the mustard and cumin seeds and fry. As the seeds start to pop, add the green chillies and cilantro and ginger and fry for a couple of seconds.
2. Add the pumpkin pieces, salt, and 1/4 cup water, stir, and cover and cook on medium heat.
3. Stir occasionally, and cook until tender (about 10 minutes).
4. Serve the pumpkin curry with roti or rice.

Cooking Tip

Pumpkin reduces in quantity when cooked so use 1 1/2 times the quantity you need.
