Pumpkin chutney recipe with step by step photos. Pumpkin season is here, though available year around we find tender pumpkins (parangi pinju) in abundance during winter and it is my absolute favorite. I use tender pumpkin in many pumpkin recipes like sambar, pakoda, kunukku, adai also in baking like spiced pumpkin bread, muffins. Last week when I bought a small whole tender pumpkin I made an array of pumpkin recipes, pumpkin soup, pumpkin kootu and this very very flavorful and delicious pumpkin chutney recipe.
I saw this pumpkin chutney recipe in Menu Rani Chellam’s cook book and I was hooked to try it. So when I had fresh pumpkin in hand I prepared this yummy chutney and served with very delicious semiya idli, my another favorite recipe which I am yet to blog about.
To make pumpkin chutney recipe, I used regular ingredients used for onion chutney. This is a no onion garlic pumpkin chutney recipe, if you wish you can add few pearl onions and garlic cloves while sauteing pumpkins.
Serve pumpkin chutney with idli, dosa or even you can use it as spread for rotis and bread. This chutney keeps well for 3-4 days in fridge.
here is the easy and tasty pumpkin chutney, do try out!
