Pumpkin Curry with Mustard Paste

Sri Lankan Pumpkin Curry with Mustard Paste


Here is another Sri Lankan style pumpkin curry. During my December holiday in Sri Lanka, my SIL’s mother cooked this pumpkin curry and it was really delicious. Actually it is another different taste and I asked her how she cooked. This is really simple and no much work to do. If you check this Mild spicy pumpkin curry or pumpkin kalu pol, you will see that the recipe require some ground coconut paste. In this recipe, we do not use grated coconut. Instead, we add mustard seeds paste.She simply cooked pumpkin with Sri Lankan raw curry powder and other spices.Finally added the mustard paste.

Usually I like to try same vegetable in different recipes. In that way I am able to prepare my meals in different tastes.So,I am happy with this new recipe. Try this, hope you will like it too.
