Manjal Parangikai paal kootu (Yellow Pumpkin & milk gravy) - Preparation time 15 mins
Usually I don't cook pumpkin varieties. Few days before dad brought us yellow pumpkin slice and gave/ I thought of trying out some recipe using pumpkin. My husband won't like it but, anyway i want to try it out. I don't like many sweet dishes but, i liked this one. You can try out once and see whether you like it. This might taste like sweet pachadi and very easy to make. Pumpkin is good for health rich in fibre and an anti-oxidant.
Ingredients:-
Pumpkin - Remove the skin and chop to small cubes one cup
Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
Salt - little
Sugar - 2 tbsp
Milk - 3 tbsp
Rice flour - 1 tsp
Water - to cook
Mustard seed - 1/4 tsp
Sesame oil - 1/4 tsp
Urad dhal - 1 tsp
Red chili - 2 to 3 (usually i don't like the seeds so i will remove the seeds and use only skin part)
Curry leaves - 10
Preparation method:-
Boil required amount of water with turmeric, pinch of salt. Add chopped yellow pumpkin cubes to boiling water and cook till it becomes soft. (Take care that you use only required amount of water i.e. the vegetable get immersed).
Now add the sugar, rice flour mixed with milk to the cooked pumpkin. The gravy will become thick. You transfer to the serving bowl.
In a tawa add oil, mustard to splutter, urad dhal to golden brown and transfer to the parangikai paal kootu.
Chop the curry leaves and garnish. This will be tasty. You can take this with rice or chapati or you can eat this as a dessert also. Enough eating :-)
