🧂 Ingredients

500 gms Yellow Pumpkin(skin off and cut into cubes)
2 Tbspn Fresh grated coconut
1 Medium sized onion(chopped fine)
2 green chillies(slit)
1 Tspn Oil
Salt as per taste
1/2 cup water

Instructions

1 In a vessel, add the Coconut, Water, Onions, Chillies, Oil and Salt. Cover the
vessel an place it on medium flame
2 As the water starts evaporating, add the pumpkin and give it a gentle mix and
put the lid back on
3 After about 5 minutes or so, you will notice the pumpkin releasing some
moisture. At that time, reduce tge flame, take off the lid and let the pumpkin
cook for another 10 minutes on low flame

Note: Stir very gently
4 Check if the pumpkin has turned soft. Once there is absolutely no water left,
your Pumpkin Veg is ready.
5 Note: The reason why we cook the coconut, water, onion and oil first, is because
Yellow pumpkin cooks very quickly, unlike oter veggies. So if you add all the
ingredients together, the pumpkin will cook first and the other ingredients will
remain raw. Upon further cooking, tge pumpkin will get completely mashed.
