Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Take 1 bunch of washed, rinsed and clean spinach leaves. Discard the big stems.

* Step 2

I blanced them in boiling water for 30 seconds, tranfered to a colander and rinse them in cold water. This will help to remove any jerms from the leaves and also help to retain it's bright colour.

* Step 3

Now with a sharp knife chop them. Keep aside.

* Step 4

Also peel and cut the pumpkin or squash in small pieces.

* Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoon of oil in a pan and temper with paachfuran & dry red chillies. Paachfuran is a mixture of 5(paach)whole spices like fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds, carrom seeds, fennel seeds and nigela seeds.

* Step 6

Also add in curry leaves and the pumpkin pieces. Add in salt stir well and cook with lid on in medium heat for 10 minutes.

* Step 7

After 10 minutes or when the pumpkin cooks 70%, add in the chopped spinach and mix. Cover and again cook in medium low heat for another 10 minutes.

* Step 8

Now add in grated coconut, I added dessicated coconut as I don't have fresh one right now.

* Step 9

Also add in Jaggery powder or grated Jaggery & chilli flakes. Give a final stir and your stir fried pumpkin with spinach is ready to serve. Goes well with steam rice or roti/fulka.
