Pumpkin Tomato Subji


Ingredients
Pumpkin - Cut into long rectangles
Tomatoes - 4-5
Onion - chopped - 1 large
Green chilly sliced - 1
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Red chilly powder - 1/2 tsp
Cumin seeds powder - 1 tsp
Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp
Urad Dal - 2 tsp
Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves - 1 strand
Oil - 1 tbsp
Salt - to taste

Method:
Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan, temper mustard seeds, add green chilly, ginger, and curry leaves. Add the Urad dal and stir until light brown. Toss in the onions, and keep stirring on low flame until light brown.
Add the tomatoes, a pinch of salt, mix well, and cook covered on low flame until tomatoes are cooked and mash-able
Add the pumpkin pieces, turmeric, red chilly, cumin seeds, and coriander powders, and mix well
Keep covered (DO NOT add water), and cook on low flame for 5-8 minutes, stir, and continue process until pumpkin is fork tender. The pumpkin pieces will release enough water and the steam in the covered pan will help in the cooking process. Ensure that the pumpkin pieces don't break while stirring, and are cooked evenly
Pumpkin Tomato Subji is ready!
