Kaddu Sabzi Recipe

Kaddu Sabzi is a flavorful vegetarian dish featuring tender cubes of yellow pumpkin tempered with aromatic fenugreek seeds and dry red chilies. The natural sweetness of the pumpkin is enhanced with a touch of jaggery and balanced by the tangy kick of dry mango powder (amchur). Each bite offers a melt-in-the-mouth texture with a complex spice profile that characterizes traditional North Indian home cooking. It is a light yet incredibly satisfying dish that pairs beautifully with flatbreads or can be enjoyed as a nutrient-dense side.
