Easy Pumpkin Recipe With Spices (Panch Phoran) | How to Cook WIth Spices

Method: Step 1. Cut the eggplant in large cubes and soak in salty water for 10 minutes. Step 2. Peel and cut the potatoes in cubes. Step 3. Heat cooking oil in a pan, add 2 tsp of panch phoran, and cook for about a minute, until mustard seeds start “jumping”. When the mustard seeds start popping, add potatoes, mix it well, so that potatoes are covered in spice. Add eggplants and mix everything again. Cover with the lid and cook for about 15-20 minutes. Stir the vegetables from time to time and check that they do not burn – if necessary, you can add a bit of water. Step 3. Add turmeric, chilli powder and salt. Mix everything nicely to make sure that the spice is equally spread. Cook for a few more minutes. Your dish is ready to serve – just garnish it with some fresh coriander at the end and enjoy as a side dish or on its own. Subscribe to our weekly recipes here
