Ingredients
250gpumpkinpeeled and cut into bite sized cubes
300gtomato puree(of about 6 medium sized tomatoes)
In a heavy bottom pan, heat oil on medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add asafoetida and cumin seeds.
When the seeds start to sputter, add curry leaves. Sauté till the curry leaves become crisp.
Add the tomato puree and all the powdered spices except garam masala powder. Mix well and cook covered for a couple of minutes.
Add the pumpkin pieces. Mix well so that all of the pumpkin is coated in the tomato mix.
Cook covered, with in-between stirring, for about 10 minutes till the pumpkin has softened. If the preparation is very dry and is sticking to the pot, add just a little dash of water in between.
Add garam masala powder, mix well and keep it covered for a minute.
Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot with parathas.
