Ingredients
- 1 pound pumpkin sliced
- 2-4 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 2 dry chili peppers I used 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon nigella seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the pumpkin by washing, peeling, and slicing it. Since I like my pumpkin mushy, I sliced it thinly. If you want them to remain shaped after cooking, you can cut them into cubes.
- Slice the onions and tomatoes and chop garlic.
- Heat oil in a pan and add onions, garlic, cumin, and dry red chilies.
- Toast the onions and garlic until they are nice and brown.
- Toss in the sliced tomatoes and spices and let them cook until the oil separates.
- Put your pumpkins in the masala, mix well, and cover. Let them cook on low flame for 15-18 minutes in their own water.
- You'll see the pumpkin is nice and soft when you open the lid. I give it a good mix until it's mushy and mixed with the masala.
- Serve with any flatbread or steamed rice, Yummy!
