Directions

Cut pumpkin into medium cube pieces and set aside.

Roast red chillies and sesame seeds to a golden color, and grind to a
powder. Set aside.

Oil a heated frying pan. Add black gram seeds, and fry on medium heat to
to a golden color. Add the curry leaves, and fry for a while.

Add washed pumpkin cubes, and stir. Sprinkle with salt.

Add water, cover and cook. Observe that it does not become
paste. The cubes should be seperate and smooth.

Now uncover and sprinkle on the roasted and powdered chillies and sesame
seeds. Once again stir slightly without breaking the cooked cubes.

This curry is very tasty with cooked plain rice.
