Servings: 4-6 Cooking Time: 25
minutes
Ingredients
3 cups pumpkin, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups tomatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup tamarind juice
1/2 cup cilantro (coriander leaves)
Salt to taste
For seasoning
4 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp fenugreek
seeds (methi)
1 tsp fennel seeds (saunf)
2 tsp red chilli flakes
3-4 green chillies, slit at the ends
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
5-6 curry leaves
Preparation
Heat oil in a shallow pan. Add fenugreek, mustard,
and fennel seeds. When the seeds are brown and mustard starts to pop,
add the curry leaves, turmeric powder, chili flakes, and fry for a few
seconds. Add the pumpkin pieces, 1 1/4 cups of water and some salt, and
cover and cook on medium heat until tender.
When the pumpkin is cooked, add the tomatoes,
tamarind juice, slit green chillies, and cook until the raw flavor of
the
tamarind is gone and the gravy has thickened to the consistency you
want.
Garnish the pumpkin gravy curry with chopped cilantro
and serve hot with rice or roti.
Cooking Tip
If the pumpkin is not very sweet, you can add 1tsp sugar or jaggery. If
serving the pumpkin gravy curry with rice, leave the gravy a little
watery; if serving with
roti, thicken the gravy by letting the moisture evaporate for a bit
longer.
