Pumpkin Poriyal



Ingredients
  • Pumpkin - 1/4 medium size pumpkin or 2-3 cups
  • Onion - 1 small size onion (Chopped)
  • Curry leaves - 1 spring
  • Mustard & Urad dal - 1/2 tsp
  • Coconut - 1 tbsp (grated)
  • Green chillies - 4 or adjust
  • Chilly or sambar powder - 1-2 tsp
  • Oil - 1 tbsp
  • Salt for taste

Method
  • Wash the pumkin, deseed & cut it into small cubes.
  • Cover & cook the vegetable on low flame by adding water, a spoon of chilly powder & salt.
  • Remove from heat & keep it aside once it is done.
  • Heat oil in the pan on high medium flame.
  • Splutter mustard, urad dal, curry leaves & green chilies one by one.
  • Add onions, sambar powder, salt and fry till it becomes light brown in color.
  • Now add the cooked vegetable and fry carefully, not to mash it.
  • Finally add the coconut & jaggery.
  • Remove from heat & serve as side dish for rice.

Tips for the recipe - If the pumpkin is already sweet & taste, then little jaggery will do. or else add some more jaggery for better taste. The one in the pic i cooked today was really soft & so tasty. so i added very less jaggery.
