Kaddu ki Sabzi | Kaddu Ki Sabji Recipe | Yellow Pumpkin Sabzi Recipe

North Indian style pumpkin curry was in my try list for long time. When I was looking for some good recipes, I came across Kaddu ki sabzi recipes like Bengali style, Maharashtrian style and Gujarati style with some minor changes in each recipe. I made a fusion of all these recipes following an YouTube video. It came out finger licking delicious. 

Usually I make our South Indian style Pumpkin curry directly in a pressure cooker but here I didn’t want to take risk as I am trying it for the first time. It came out so well with nice flavour and color. We loved it. Friends, if you are bored of making South Indian Pumpkin recipes, try this North Indian style Kaddu ki Sabji.
