Potato Pumpkin Stir fry | Aloo Kumro Thorkari [Bengali dish]
Sunday, December 24, 2023
My mom-in-law used to make this quick and easy dish for breakfast or dinner to go along with Poori, roti, chapati or phulka. This curry has a slight hint of sweetness which comes from the pumpkin.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups - Potatoes – cut into cubes
- 2 cups - Pumpkin – cut into cubes
- 2 - Green chilies
- 2 inch - Ginger
- ½ tsp - Panch phoron (A Bengali seasoning mix consisting of 5 types of seeds - fenugreek seed, nigella seed, cumin seed, black mustard seed and fennel seed in equal parts. Readily available in store or you may prepare the mix at home)
- 1 tsp - Turmeric powder
- 1 tsp - Red chilli powder or as per taste
- 3 tsp- Oil (preferably mustard oil]
- Salt – to taste
Method:
- Wash and cut potato and pumpkin into cubes and keep aside.
- Finely chop green chilies and ginger, keep aside. (ginger may be grated)
- Heat oil in a pan. Add panch phoron. Once the seeds starts to sputter, add chopped green chilies and ginger to the oil and sauté.
- Add cubed potatoes and cook until half done. (potatoes take more time then pumpkin to cook)
- Next add pumpkin cudes, salt and turmeric powder and sauté till the cubes roasted.
- Add a cup of water and red chilli powder. Cover and cook till you potato & pumpkin cubes are cooked and tender.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with Roti/poori/chapati/phulka
