Pumpkin Pachadi (ISKCON)

Pumpkin Pachadi

Ingredients:

Pumpkin – 1 cup
Tamarind juice - 1 cup
Rice flour - 1/2 tsp
Mustard seeds - 1/4 tsp
Urad dal - 1/4 tsp
Red chili flakes - 1
Jaggery, powdered - 1/2 cup
Salt - a pinch
Curd or Yogurt - 1/2 cup
Ghee - 1 tsp

Cut the pumpkin into pieces. Use tamarind juice, just enough to immerse the vegetable. Add salt and cook well. After the pumpkin is cooked, add the jaggery and stir until it dissolves. Mix the rice flour in little water and add to the pachadi, and bring to a boil. Garnish with the mustard and dal, fried in ghee. After the pachadi has cooled down, add the curd and mix well. You can also use sweet potatoes in place of pumpkin.
