The delicious version of Indian veg curry or called as Sambhar/ Sambar/ Samvar. I have added sweet pumpkin here. Any available vegetables like Potato or Carrot or mix vegetables can be used instead of sweet pumpkin. Easy curry recipe, is blended with authentic Indian spices. Sweet Pumpkin is called Meeta Kaddu in Hindi, Sihi Kumbala in Kannada and Kuvale in Konkani. The combination of sweet pumpkin with Indian spices gives a heavenly taste. It is known for its own nutritional benefits. This is South Indian style curry recipe.  The ingredients or items required and the preparation time is also less. The use of coconut in the curry enriches the tastes, flavour, thickness in the curry. The speciality of this recipe is it is an Indian vegetable curry mixed with spices and herbs and is best suited as side dish for hot rice/ roti/ chapathi/ idli.

This curry is authentic Konkani based curry served in temples, hotels with thali and special occasions, Indian festivals. The blend of Kashmiri chillies (known for its flavor and color) with coriander seeds and methi always provides aroma. The addition of coriander leaves gives out the authentic taste of Indian food.

This curry can be prepared instantly and when you have no time or no much veggies at home. The blend of pumpkin with secret masala gives great health benefits and taste, aroma in kitchen. The addition of coriander leaves are optional here and it flavors the gravy.

Tricks for good taste:

1. Do not overcook the veggies.
2. Add spicy chillies for more spiciness in curry (optional)
3. Use Kashmiri chilli for better colour in the curry. It can also be replaced with red chilli powder.
4. Use fresh coconut for better taste and quick grinding. However, dry desiccated coconut gives the same if soaked in water for 10 minutes.
