PUMPKIN FRY or MISTI KUMRO BHAJA is an authentic Bengali style recipe. This is very common in Bengali meals, especially in autumn and winter, The ripe sweet pumpkin (mishti kumro) is in season starting September and it starts making appearances everywhere. We love to have this bhaja along with pulao, dal bhat or khichuri. Today I made this and served it along with Basanti pulao.
Ingredients:
- Pumpkin - 1 (cut into 1.5 cm thick slices)
- Oil for frying (I have used TAWA this time, hence very less oil is used, however you can do deep fry too)
- Salt
- Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
- Red Chili Powder - 1/2 tsp
- Sugar - 1/2 tsp
Process:
1. Marinate the pumpkin pieces with salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder and sugar, cover and keep aside for 15 minutes.
2. Remove the excess water from the pieces and pat dry.
3. Brush oil in the tawa, and keep placing the pumpkin pieces one by one, do not over crowd the tawa. Flip and cook until golden brown.
