    Stir-Fried Pumpkin Recipe or Pumpkin Thoran with step by step pictures. This is made with Onion, Pumpkin and Desiccated Coconut.

    Stir-Fried Pumpkin

    Stir fries make a great sidedish for rice or roti. I make different combination of them very often. This one is a quick sidedish you can make in under 30 mins. It uses a combination of pumpkin and onion and finally the whole thing is tossed with dessicated coconut.
