Kumbalakayi palya (Yellow pumpkin side dish)

Very easy dish to make which goes well with chapathis. I usually make it in the nights when chapathis are a must for everyone at home. This dish goes excellent with plain akki roti as well.

KUMBALAKAYI PALYA (YELLOW PUMPKIN SIDE DISH):

Ingredients:

1/2 kg yellow pumpkin
3 large onions
6-7 green chillies (use according to taste)
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
curry leaves
2 tbsp oil
Method of Preparation:

1. Cut the pumpkin evenly, keeping the skin on and wash it well.
2. Heat oil in a kadai, splutter mustard seeds, add the curry leaves.
3. Add onions and fry till it turns translucent, now add the vegetable and salt.
4. Mix well and close a lid. Cook on medium flame. Add water only if you feel the vegetable is st
icking to the bottom of the pan. Closing the kadai with a tight lid usually helps cook without water, using the vegetables moisture itself.

Serve this hot with chapathis.
