ingredients

2 pounds fresh pumpkin or squash
1/4 cup corn oil
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
4 ounces tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon ginger root, chopped fine
1 teaspoon freshly ground coriander seeds
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup plain yogurt
dry mint leaves, crushed

directions

Peel the pumpkin and cut into 2-3" cubes; set aside. Heat oil in a large frying pan that has a lid. Fry the pumpkins on both sides for a couple of minutes until lightly browned. Mix together ingredients for tomato sauce in a bowl then add to pumpkin mixture in fry pan. Cook 20-25 minutes over low heat until the pumpkin is cooked and most of the liquid has evaporated.

Mix together the ingredients for the yogurt sauce. Spread half the yogurt sauce on a plate and lay the pumpkin on top. Top with remaining yogurt and any cooking juices left over. Sprinkle with dry mint. May be served with chalow (Basmati rice) and naan or pita bread.

  1. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    The tomato sauce is too sweet with that full 1/2 cup of sugar, I added a fair amount of lemon juice to bring it down a notch.

  2. Anita

    for Tasty Moose: The yogurt sauce is the last 3 measured ingredients: crushed garlic (the smaller amount), salt, yogurt.
