Preparation:
1.First peel the pumpkin skin,cut pumpkin
into medium sized cubes.Grind onions and tomotoes seperately.Usually if we buy
the pumpkin in indian groceries they won't have seeds.
2.Heat the oil in a pan and, when heated,
add the onion paste .Once the onion paste is fried add tomoto puree and fry for
5 min and then add ginger- garlic paste and fry until very lightly golden.(if
you want you can also put all seasoning ingredients)
3.Lower the heat and add the turmeric,
green chilli and saute for a min.Add a splash of water to prevent the mixture
becoming too dry.Stir well and add the garam masala, salt, red chilli powder
too.
4.Once the mixture has become shiny and the
oil has begun to separate (add splashes of water if necessary), add the pumpkin
pieces and stir well to coat thoroughly with the mixture.
5.Turn up the heat and stir-fry for about
five minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, reduce to a medium heat, cover and cook gently
for 10-15 minutes until the pumpkin pieces are soft.Don't cook over time,it
will become mushy.Just check and see ,if at all if you feel pieces are not
cooked add little water and cook for few more min.
6.Carefully stir occasionally to check it
is not sticking to the bottom.Turn the heat off and Garnish with chopped
coriander.
7.Serve and enjoy with your rice or
chapathi's.
