This is a family favourite! Passed on to Amma (my mother-in-law) from her mother (Nallamma), we all relish this yummy raita. The story goes that this is super digestive too and every time someone had a tummy ache, Nallamma would whip up this yummy curd item – paired with either roti or rice. Enjoy!

  • For the pumpkin

    Skin and cut the yellow pumpkin into small pieces. Boil the pieces with little water and salt till soft. Mash and keep aside.

  • For the curd

    Grind half of the mustard, green chilies, and the coconut with 2 spoons of water. Mix the ground mixture, curd, and mashed pumpkin with the sugar.

  • For the tempering

    Temper the remaining mustard seeds in some oil, add 1 green chilly if needed as per the spice level desired. Add to the pumpkin mixture. Ready to serve cold or at room temperature.
