Fried Pumpkin: Indian Style

Photo: ping

Ingredients

1 small pumpkin, skinned & seeded, cut into large cubes

2 sprigs curry leaves, discard stalks

2 tablespoons mustard seeds

5 dried chllies or more if you like it hot, soaked to soften and discard some of the seeds

2 large onions, finely chopped

2 tablespoons grated ginger

1 tablespoon turmeric powder

1 tablespoon coriander powder

for frying, I used grapeseed oil

Preparation

Heat oil in pan and stir in curry leaves, mustard seeds and dried chillies until the mustard seeds start to pop.

Remove chillies.

Add chopped onions and grated ginger and fry until onions are soft.

Toss in diced pumpkin, turmeric powder and coriander powder and stir to combine.

Add about a half cup of water, stir and simmer covered, until liquid evaporates and pumpkin turns soft.

If needed, add more water, cover and simmer until the desired texture. Do not put in too much water or pumpkin will become mushy.

Add salt to taste. (Sprinkle with some chopped fresh coriander if desired)
