    Pumpkin Curry Recipe

    Have you ever imagined of making a gravy dish without a single drop of oil, here it is. An amazing pumpkin curry made with zero oil, actually it doesn't need any oil because it has got enough coconut milk in it..This is my first sri lankan dish in my blog, i hope i will try a lot more recipes in the future.

    The gravy has a lovely mustardy coconut aroma all over it. It taste great with plain rice.Try it and you will know the taste of it.

    How to Make Poosanikai Curry

    1. Take all the ingredients except the grinding stuff in a pot and bring it to boil.
    2. Cover and simmer for 10 mins until the pumpkin is half cooked.
    3. Now take garlic and mustard in a blender or mortar and pestle and crush them.
    4. Add them to the curry and cook for 10 more mins.
    5. Add coconut milk and bring again to a boil. Switch off the flame and serve with rice.

      This looks amazing, I want to make it so badly but I'll have to substitute a different squash, I don't think there's any fresh pumpkin around anymore.

      We had it for dinner yesterday! I didn't have any fenugreek at hand, so I used sage. The dish was very creamy, comforting and a pleasure to eat. I was very happy about not having to spit out any fish bones this time, but my husband said he still preferred the bengali fish curry (though he asked for a second helping of the pumpkin 🙂
