Pumpkin Chicken Recipe
Every Indian kitchen has some recipe of it’s own. While most of my friends in some parts of India frown whenever I mention chicken or mutton being cooked with vegetables, there are others who can relate to similar dishes. One very common dish for a Bengali household that is prepared often at my home is using this pumpkin chicken recipe. I simply relish the taste of it.
I made some of my brave friends in Pune who have an urge to taste different dishes try it. I was more surprised than they were when I found out that they could just not have enough of it. This made me think of writing on this dish. A quick search on the Internet brought me to terms with the fact that it was not an uncommon dish and you might just want to try preparing it at home.
The Pumpkin
The pumpkin that I am referring to while making this dish is what you often see in the retail stores in India labeled as disco pumpkin. Yes, I never got to understand why is it called that or if there is any other type of pumpkin with a different skill set? I hope you got the picture if you already did not know. If still not, then it is that vegetable which is carved during Halloween to make a ghost like face with a candle inside it. May be, this was not the right way to describe a vegetable which we are looking forward to savor in some nicely cooked chicken. But then, we as foodies do not really care as long as we know it’s going to taste good.
Pumpkin has a slightly sweet taste and that is what makes this recipe work. I personally taste a small piece of the pumpkin before starting the preparation. If the pumpkin is not sweet, I will know that I need to add some sugar at some time during the preparation.
Having detailed out all these, I think we should now start off with the ingredients.
