Kaddu with panchforon

Here are 2 recipes for sweet-sour kaddu/petha/sitaphal/pumpkin - the first one is a Bengali version. Thanks to the sites I adapted them from - unfortunately can't credit since I have lost the source.

Add oil to a pan, and panchforan + green chilles + asafoetida. Add chopped ginger + tomatoes along with coriander powder, cumin powder, amchur, fennel powder, seasonings, red chilli powder and turmeric powder. Mix well. Add chopped kaddu . Mix and add 1 tsp gur and 1 cup water. Pressure cook for 2 whistles. Your subzee is ready.
