One beautiful thing about Kerala food is that basic ingredients like oil, spices etc can be used in moderation and hence make not only healthy options but tasty too…

Pumpkin – 250 gms
Small onions – 7-8 (or 1 small regular onion)
Grated coconut- 2 Tbsp
Turmeric – a pinch
Red chili powder – ½ tsp
Salt to taste
Coconut oil – 2 tsp

1. Wash and cube the pumpkins while retaining the skin
2. Roughly crush the onion and grated coconut
3. In a wok add pumpkin, chili powder, turmeric powder, salt along with few tsp of oil and cook till the pumpkin are half done
4. Add crushed onion and coconut and cook till the pumpkin is fully done
5. Add coconut oil and stir
6. Serve with rice or chapatti as a side dish

Till next time …happy cooking!
