Instructions for Kumror Chokka Recipe - Kaddu Kala Chana Sabzi | Pumpkin Chickpea Curry

    1

    To begin making the Kumror Chokka Recipe, prep all the ingredients and keep ready.

    2

    Cook the soaked kala chana/ chickpeas in the pressure cooker along with a little salt and water. Add water such that it is just about 1-1/2 inches above the chickpeas. 

    3

    Pressure cook for 4 whistles and turn the heat to low. Simmer for another 15 minutes and turn off the heat. Allow the pressure to release naturally.

    4

    Once the pressure has released, drain the excess water if any and keep the chickpeas aside.

    5

    Heat 1 tablespoon mustard oil in a heavy bottomed pan, add potato, sprinkle a little salt and roast on medium heat until it turns light brown. Cover the pan for a few minutes to fasten the cooking of the potatoes.

    6

    Once cooked and roasted, transfer to a bowl and keep this aside. 

    7

    In the same pan; add the remaining mustard oil. Add the mustard seeds, kalonji, asafoetida, ginger, green chillies, bay leaf and red chillies. Stir fry for a few seconds.

    8

    Add the pumpkin, tomatoes, panch phoran, turmeric powder and salt. Give it a stir and cover the pan. Cook the pumpkin until it is almost cooked.

    9

    Towards the last part of the cooking process, stir in the roasted potatoes, chickpeas and jaggery to the pumpkin.

    10

    Simmer for another 5 minutes so all the flavors get well incorporated into to make a delicious tasting Kumror Chokka.

    11

    Once done, check the taste and adjust the salt and flavours accordingly. 

    12

    Turn off the heat and transfer the Kumror Chokka to a serving bowl and serve hot.

    13

    Serve Kumror Chokka along with Bengali Style Cholar Dal and Bengali Luchi for a wholesome lunch.
