To begin making the Pumpkin Raita Recipe, we will cook the grated pumpkin in a pan.

Heat a teaspoon of oil in a pan on medium flame,  add the grated pumpkin, sprinkle some salt to taste and stir fry until the pumpkin wilts down. Cover the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes and your pumpkin will be cooked.

Pumpkin also releases water when cooked, so there is not need to add water to cook the pumpkin. Once the pumpkin is cooked, transfer to a serving bowl and allow it to cool.

In the meanwhile, whisk the yogurt in another bowl along with some salt, red chili powder, roasted cumin powder and coriander. Finally stir in the cooked pumpkin into the yogurt mixture.Adjust the salt and spice levels and adjust to suit your taste.

Serve Pumpkin Raita along with Ajwaini Tamatar Bhindi and Phulka for a weekday lunch or dinner. Finish the meal with Gulab Jamun Trifle Recipe as dessert.
