Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Gotu Kola paste by blending fresh Gotu Kola leaves with green chilies and cumin seeds. Garlic can also be added for extra flavor. Set aside.
    Thankuni recipe
  • Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the carom seeds and dried red chili. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the cubed pumpkin to the pan. Sprinkle with turmeric powder, coriander powder, chili powder, and salt. Stir well to coat the pumpkin evenly.
    Thankuni recipe
  • Cook the pumpkin until tender, stirring occasionally. This allows the pumpkin to soften and absorb the flavors of the spices.
  • Add the roasted chickpeas, chopped fresh coconut, and prepared Gotu Kola paste to the pan. If you don't have Gotu Kola paste, you can add a few chopped fresh leaves.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For a richer flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-grated.
  • Adjust the cooking time based on your oven and the thickness of the chicken breasts. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Get creative with your toppings! Try adding sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, or caramelized onions for extra flavor and texture.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover chicken Parmesan in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
