kaddu ki sabji recipe | kaddu ki sabzi | pethe ki sabji | pumpkin sabzi with detailed photo and video recipe. a simple and easy day to day dry curry recipe made with sweet pumpkin slices. it is perhaps one of the most frequently made north indian curry in many indian households for day to day lunch and dinner. it is typically served as side dish to chapati or roti, but also tastes amazing with naan and even choice of rice and dal combo.
as i previously mentioned, kaddu ki sabzi recipe is perhaps one of most underrated and also less accepted dry sabzi. in other words, when it is on a direct contest with paneer or even with potatoes, kaddu ki sabji takes always less preference. it is very much like electricity, we do not appreciate it when is up and running and the only crib when it is not working. jokes apart, the pumpkin recipe deserves a lot more respect and appreciation from us. it is so simple and quick to make and is more often made when we do not wish to make something fancy or require something very quickly. i personally make this as a multipurpose dish. in my house, it is served as a side dish to chapati, or dal rice combo and also used as stuffing for a sandwich. well, it is up to your preference and can choose it accordingly.
furthermore, i would like to conclude with some tips, suggestions and variations for kaddu ki sabji recipe. firstly, while selecting the pumpkin from the store, i would heavily suggest getting a fresh and yellow coloured one. it would deliver a perfect combination of sweet, spicy and savoury dry sabzi. secondly, i have made this recipe as a dry curry with less gravy sauce in it. but this can also be made as gravy based curry with onion and tomato-based sauce. lastly, do not overcook the pumpkin and it has to hold its shape after the recipe is cooked.
