Pumpkin.
Sounds so unappetizing !
I always buy the sweet ripe pumpkin.
Cut a kilo of pumpkin into big chunks.
Heat a little oil in an open cookware that has a matching lid. Mustard oil is preferable.
Add a few mustard seeds. They start sputtering. Add a pinch of turmeric powder and salt to taste.
Add all the chunks of pumpkin, stir well and cover it with the lid.
Turn the gas to sim. Use the bigger burner.
After 2 mins, stir again and cover again.
After another 2 mins. add a tablespoon of sugar and stir and cover again.
After another 2 mins. use a fork or a knife to check if the pumpkin has softened.
You can decide whether to eat the chunks as in shape or turn the whole thing into a pulp. The tastes will differ.
I like it in the form of a pulp. For this, you will have to stir vigorously for half a minute.
It tastes sweet and tangy, almost like a sauce. Children love it more. It is rich in iron and vitamin A.
Any other method of cooking sweet pumpkin is likely to deprive you of its nutrients.
