Pumpkin with egg is a rare combination Because mostly people eat pumpkin (kumro) sabji as pure vegetarian dish. But my mom use to prepare this dish quite often and when I learnt and reciprocated it in by in-laws house they were awestruck. This goes very well with roti and paratha. In olden days there was a cookbook written by Mrs Bela Dey. Mom picked up brinjal egg and pumpkin egg combination from there.
INGREDIENTS :
- 500 gms grated pumpkin
- Kalinji ( Nigella seeds)
- 4-5 eggs
- 1 big onion
- 6-7 pods of garlic
- 1tsp of turmeric powder
- 1tsp of chilly powder
