Ingredients Serving: 3

  1. Pumpkin – 250 gms chopped into medium sized chunks.
  2. Methi seeds or Methi Dana – 1.5 tsps to 2 tsps
  3. Mustard seeds – ½ tsp
  4. Jaggery – 1 tsp
  5. Whole red chillies – 2 or 3 nos. broken
  6. Oil – 1 to 1.5 tblsp
  7. Red chilli powder – ½ tsp
  8. Turmeric powder – ¼ tsp
  9. Water – ¼ cup to cook the vegetable
  10. Salt as per taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a heavy bottom kadhai or a non stick pan, add oil and once it heats up, add the mustard seeds and allow it to crackle.
  2. Now add the methi dana or methi / fenugreek seeds whole red chillies and turmeric powder.
  3. Once the methi seeds turn slightly brown, add the chopped chunks of the pumpkin and give it a good mix. Add salt and red chilli powder, mix it again and then add little water for cooking the vegetable.
  4. Place the lid and let it cook for 10 odd minutes, giving it a stir every now and then.
  5. Once the pumpkins are cooked (they should retain their texture and not turn mushy hence add water very slowly and if possible between intervals), add the jaggery, give it a good mix.
  6. By adding jaggery, the bitter taste of methi or fenugreek seeds are reduced and also providing it a good glaze on the dish.
  7. After cooking on low heat for 5 odd minutes, switch off the flame and serve them hot with some parathas or kadhi chawal (spiced buttermilk and steamed rice).
