Instructions
- Heat Oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds. Once they start spluttering , add cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, green chili, red chili, curry leaves, ginger and garlic paste . Sauté them for a minute.
- Now add the pumpkin pieces, whole onions and onion paste. Fry them till the onions turn slight translucent.
