Kodha Nu Rasawalu Shaak / No Onion No Garlic Easy Pumpkin Curry is a very easy and quick to make dish cooked with a tempering made with mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds and curry leaves. The flavors from curry leaves and seeds combines well with pumpkin and make the dish very tasty and delicious. Made with minimum spices, this gluten free and vegan curry does not use any onions or garlic in it. The curry goes well with chawal (rice ) roti, or wheat roti or puri or bhakri.
I had cooked the curry in a pressure cooker. The pumpkin cooks quickly and hence you can also make this recipe in a regular pan or pot. When cooking it in a pressure cooker be careful to remove the pressure cooker from the heat as soon as the pressure is filled in the cooker and the whistle is about to blow. The pumpkin will become mushy if cooked more than this.
