Acorn Squash Bhaji

desi acorn squash bhaji
Acorn Squash is similar to Pumpkin/Lal Bhopla/Kadoo in taste. Few months back I had blogged about Duddhe Upkari or Lal Bhopla Bhaji. This recipe is similar to that, but with acorn squash and minus coconut.

Ingredients:
Acorn Squash - 2 cups
Green chilies - 8
Curry Leaves - a sprig
Cilantro/Coriander Leaves - few sprigs
Mustard Seeds - 1/2 tsp
Asafetida/Hing - 1/4 tsp
Jaggery or Brown Sugar - 1 tsp
Salt
Oil

How to cook Acorn Squash Bhaji:
  • Peel the squash skin and discard the seeds. Cut it into bite sized pieces.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a kadhai/wok and add mustard seeds, asafetida and curry leaves. When mustard seeds splutter, add squash pieces and lengthwise slit green chilies. Cook it covered.
  • When squash gets cooked and soft, add salt and jaggery. Cook for about 2 minutes. Add chopped cilantro and Stir fry Squash is ready.
