Khatta -Meetha Kaddu/ Sweet & Sour pumpkin is easy to make recipe and mostly prepared during fasting season in north India. This is a simple recipe that is also very healthy to eat.

 

Navratras are approaching and so the preparations are in full swing to celebrate the Festivities and relish the food to their best. Come October and the festivities begin. I just love this month. It’s full of excitement, action, celebrations, happiness, birthdays, and best of all feasting!!. Food preps go hand in hand with all other paraphernalia. And Food preparations are my favorite part. I learned this recipe from my mother-in-law. I love this dish and hope you all too. Do try this khatta meetha kaddu. During, Fasting days we make it only with jeera and tomatoes. It gets its “khatta/sour” flavor from the tomatoes and meetha from sugar. Otherwise, on a regular day, I add fenugreek seeds, garlic, and onion too. But the satvik version is equally tasty.
