Take a pressure cooker and add the pumpkin pieces to it. Add enough water so as to boil and cook the pumpkin completely. Pressure cook for 5-6 whistles or until the pumpkin pieces are completely cooked.

Once the pressure is released and the pumpkin is completely cooked, use a hand blender to blend the pumpkin into a smooth paste. Keep aside.

Heat oil in a pan. Add the cumin seeds and let them crackle.

Add the garlic next and saute for 30-45 seconds.

Next add the onions and saute. Let the onions cook until they turn translucent.

Add in the powdered spices next along with the salt and mix.

Add the blended pumpkin next and mix well. Let the curry simmer for 5-6 minutes. You can add water to it if the curry turns too thick. Adjust the consistency of the curry as per your preference.

Garnish with the roasted or fried pumpkin seeds and coriander leaves. Serve hot with rice of your choice.
