Before preparing this recipe, I did not know that pumpkin can be made into a tasty dish. Try this and am sure you will agree with me. This is again a microwave oven recipe

Ingredients

  • 750gms pumpkin – peeled & cut
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • A pinch of hing (asafoetida) powder
  • 1 tsp methi seed
  • 2 tsp cumin seed
  • 1 tbsp thinly sliced ginger
  • 4 green chili
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp tamarind pulp
  • Salt to taste
  • Chopped coriander leaves for garnishing

Method
Take oil in a microwave safe bowl and add hing, methi, cumin seeds and ginger. Heat it covered at MicroHi (MHi) for 3 mins. Now add the pumpkin along with green chili, salt, chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder and sugar. Mix it well and cook covered for 5 mins at MHi. Now stir and cook covered at 70% power for 15 mins with stirring once in between. Pumpkin should be soft by now. If not, add a little water and cook for some more time at 70% power. Now add the tamarind pulp and cook covered at 30% for 5 mins. Garnish with the chopped coriander leaves and serve.
