Yellow pumpkin moong dal stew | Mathanga Errishery | മത്തങ്ങാ എരിശേരി

June 25, 2014 By Manjooo M Leave a Comment

During my school college days, I was a very picky eater. I din’t like most of veggies except red spinach, dals and pumpkins. My mom tried to make this often. I relish the taste even now ♥. Well this is again a simplified version of her original recipe.
You need,
  1. Pumpkin – 1.5 – 2 cups skinned and cubed
  2. Moong dal/whole Green gram dal – 1/2 cup
  3. Green chilies – 1
  4. Red Chili Powder – 1 teaspoon
  5. Coconut Oil – 2 tbsp
  6. Red chilies – 2 nos
  7. Urad dal – 1 teaspoon
  8. Mustard seeds – 1 teaspoon
  9. Sliced Shallots (small onions) – 3 nos
  10. roasted grated coconut  – 1 to 2 tbsp (refer notes)
  11. Curry leaves – 2 springs
  12. Asafoetida/hing – 1 pinch
  13. Salt to taste

You have to, 
  1. Soak the green gram dal over night, that makes it softer and easy to cook. 
  2. Now pressure cook (3 whistles) the green gram dal with 2 cups water, asafoetida and sliced green chili. 
  3. Once the pressure is gone, open it and mash it. 
  4. Add the pumpkin and boil till cooked. It wont take much time around 10 minutes.
  5. Add salt and continue boiling till it starts to thicken. Remove from fire
  6. For tempering, heat oil in a pan in medium flame. 
  7. Add red chili flakes followed by urad dal. 
  8. Once dal changes color, add the mustard seeds. Allow them to pop up.
  9. Now add shallots and fry till they turn light brown. 
  10. Add the dry roasted coconut and curry leaves. Saute it for 10 sec at least  and add this to the dal mixture.
  11. Serve with rice and fish fry 

Notes
1. I always have dry roasted coconut at home. For this recipe, you can toast the 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of freshly grated coconut in a pan. Saute it till it turns light brown. Once cool down you can store in a dry airtight container. (preferably glass jar). It will stay for more than a month
2. You can skip adding onions to the recipe. It still tastes good
