Kaddu ki Sabzi | Pumpkin Sabzi
A sweet and spicy sabzi or dry vegetable prepared from kaddu/pumpkin. This is a very simple and easy-to-make sabzi that uses basic ingredients but is full of flavours.
For the sour taste we have added dried kokum. You can add dry mango powder/amchur powder instead of kokum. Pumpkin has its natural sweetness and plus we have added jaggery to balance the sour taste. This sabzi is a great way to consume pumpkin in a tasty way. Do give this one a try and serve this sweet and spicy sabzi with phulka rotis or parathas.
