Pumpkin is nothing but squash. There are varieties of squash/pumpkin. In india normally uses only white & yellow pumpkins. Today my dish is made of yellow squash in tamil (iyengar word) it is known as "Sarkkarai Poosankai". In kannada it is called "Sihi Kumbalakai". Pumpkin seeds also we used for few of dishes. These seeds have many healthy benefits. Various kinds of dishes can be made using this like sweet, kadag puli, simple curry etc.,
This is a sweet, simple and delicious dish which does not need much time and it cooks in a minute. This pumpkin is already full of sweetness, it cooks fast and not a lot of water is needed for cooking. After making the sweet and before serving add a dash of homemade ghee on top to give it some flavour. But this you can have it hot too.
Check out the recipe below
Ingredients
- Yellow Squash / Pumpkin - 1/2 kg
- Jaggery, grated - 1/2 cup

- Remove and serve hot on top of the ghee| Copyright © Malas - Kitchen 2009 | | All rights reserved
