Pumpkin In Coconut Gravy is a very delicious dish prepared using pumpkins, grated coconut and spices. This dish tastes the best when served with steamed rice. Another perfect way to enjoy the flavorful of pumpkin in this fall season.
This is called dudde katkato in konkani. Dudde means pumpkin and katkato means boiling. I think the coconut gravy is added to the boiling pumpkin and thus the name 🙂 The sweetness of the pumpkin and the spiciness of the chillies added gives out a amazing flavor to this dish. This is one the best and favorite dish that my family loves with pumpkin.
