Ingredients

    Directions

    Step1

    Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based pan over medium heat. Add the fenugreek, fennel, cumin, and kalonji seeds, allowing them to sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

    Step2

    Stir in the chopped chillies and grated ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.

    Step3

    Add the pumpkin and sauté for a 5-7 minutes on medium heat, with the lid on, coating it well with the spiced oil.

    Step4

    Then, add the salt, turmeric, and cumin powder, stirring to combine. Toss in the chopped tomato, letting it cook down until softened, about 4-5 minutes.

    Step5

    Sprinkle in the paprika, chilli powder, and coriander-cumin powder, mixing thoroughly. If the mixture becomes too dry, add a splash of water to prevent burning.

    Step6

    Finally, stir in the jaggery (or sugar) to balance the heat and spices, allowing it to melt into the curry. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

    Conclusion

    Serve hot with rice or naan, and enjoy the rich, spiced flavours!
