I had more of the green pumpkin from the hot sauce adventure. I put some up in the freezer and used a pound of it in a curry, with bhatura on the side.

I used amchoor powder in the curry this time. Amchoor powder adds a fruity, sourness to dishes without adding moisture. Amchoor, Amchur, or Aamchoor are all dried green mangoes and used most often in North India cuisine.

Green Pumpkin Curry

1 lb. green pumpkin, cut in med. chunks, steamed
1 lb. mixed root veg. such as carrots, kohlrabi, turnip, rutabaga/swede etc., cut in med chunks., steamed
2 chicken breasts, trimmed and cut into medium chunks
