Srilankan Pumpkin curry – Jaffna Style Pumpkin Curry – Pumpkin recipes – Curry recipe

We had pumpkin from the downstairs garden. I was looking for some recipe with pumpkin (other than sambar, paal kootu, Dosa, paratha). My friend helper who is from Srilanka gave this recipe. It is perfect for steamed rice or paratha. It is very simple yet flavourful. I find this curry has all flavours in the right composition. So this perfectly goes well with rice or roti. Adding coconut milk enhance flavour & gives a unique taste to t
his curry. Do try this and provide your feedback
