Kodha Nu Shaak/Bhopda Chi Bhaji/Kaddu Ki Subji/Pumpkin Curry

 

Kodha Nu Shaak/Bhopda Chi Bhaji/Kaddu Ki Subji/Pumpkin Curry is a very delicious and mouthwatering dish made from pumpkin along with peanut, poppy seeds and spices. It is made sweet and tangy with jaggery and tamarind and is enjoyed best with rice flour roti, or regular roti or rice.

My mom (Rekha Ramolia) visited me at Sydney. She stayed with us for three months. We had an amazing time together. My son (Aarav) was so happy and enjoyed her company to the fullest. She would always come to drop and pick up at the school. She would accompany him for this cricket or AFL training and match. She would tell him different stories and would play with him. And when mothers are visiting they will always try to make different delicacies and feed us. I used to enter kitchen less when mom was there as she would always make food for us and it was a feeling of heaven to feast on ready food cooked by her.

She prepared this amazing pumpkin curry for us. It was irresistible. She is Maharastrian and so prepared the pumpkin in a Maharastrian way. The curry was rich with the flavor of peanuts and poppy seeds. I thought of sharing the recipe on the blog. “Maa ke haatho main jadoo hain”. The curry goes well with “chawal ki roti” / Akii/Rice roti. It can be also enjoyed with chapati or rice. The curry is good to be carried in the lunch box.

I will share the recipe of “apple shake” and “herbal green tea” that she used to make often. My son used to enjoy the “palak paneer cooked in desi style” by her. He has AFL training every Wednesday. So when I used to  take him to the training she used to make palak paneer for him and keep it ready with jeera ajwain paratha and jeera rice. He used to lick his fingers and enjoy to the fullest. From then palak paneer is as Wednesday’s special menu at my house.

Love you and miss you mummy!!

Friends do try this recipe and share it with your family and friends..
