A wide assortment of whole spices and seeds breathes life into the humble kaddu, transforming it into a zesty treat!

This Rajasthani -style Kaddu ki Subzi is extremely easy to prepare, yet so tasty because of the mix of spices used in the tempering. Nigella and fenugreek seeds, especially, give the subzi a classic Rajasthani flavour.

A sprinkling of dry mango powder adds an exciting tanginess to this subzi while a dash of curds improves the taste as well as helps the spices bind with the pumpkin. Serve the Kaddu ki Subzi hot and fresh with puris .
