Ingredients

• 500 grams Pumpkin
• 2 tablespoons Oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Dry mango powder (amchur)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (coriander leaves)
• 2 small Green chilies

Directions

Step 1

Peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds, and cut it into small cubes.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and allow them to crackle for a few seconds.

Step 3

Add a pinch of asafoetida to the pan and stir it into the oil.

Step 4

Now, add the chopped pumpkin cubes to the pan and mix well with the spices.

Step 5

Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt to the pumpkin. Stir well to coat the pumpkin evenly with the spices.

Step 6

Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the pumpkin from sticking to the pan and to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Once the pumpkin is tender and cooked through, add dry mango powder and sugar to the pan. Mix well.

Step 8

Adjust the seasoning as needed, then remove the lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Finally, add chopped cilantro and finely chopped green chilies. Stir well to combine.

Step 10

Turn off the heat and serve the Kadoo Ki Subji hot with roti, paratha, or rice.
