Ingredients:
700g pumpkin, peeled and cut into 10-15mm dice
4 tbsp oil
½ tsp fenugreek seeds
4 whole dried red chillies, broken in 2-3 pieces
1 tsp turmeric
2 tsp salt
3 tsp red chilli powder
5 tbsp sugar
2 tsp dried amchoor or mango pickle masala
Method:
1 Peel, dice and wash the pumpkin, then drain and set aside. Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the fenugreek seeds and dried red chillies and allow them to pop. Next, add the pumpkin and stir over a high heat for 3-4 minutes.
2 Add the salt, red chilli powder and turmeric, then reduce heat, cover and cook until the pumpkin is soft and begins to fall apart.
3 Add the sugar to give sweetness, which balances the heat and spice and also makes the pickle glossy. Finish with dried amchoor pieces or mango pickle.
