Yellow pumpkin stew

A short note on this dish is that it could be a 'NO NO' in some houses. The pumpkins give the natural sweetness apart from the coconut milk and the green chillies add a little zing of spiciness to this dish. It may not be a favorite amongst those who eat a lot of spicy food. But in my house this was a hit and I guess it got introduced into the kitchen from my aunt who makes it so often that sometimes it gets a little too much. Just give it a try and see if its a hit or miss with your family.


You need
Yellow pumpkin - 1 cup (diced)
Coconut milk - 1-1.5 cups
Green chillies -2 (slit)
Curry leaves
Salt


Method


  • Boil the pumpkin along with the green chillies and curry leaves in little water.
  • When the pumpkin is almost cooked, add in the coconut milk and salt and allow to come to boil. Dilute the coconut milk with water while using. (Helps reduce the richness of the dish and make it lighter)
  • Serve warm
