Kumro Saag


Ingredients:

 One big bowl peeled and diced kumro (pumpkin)
 2 medium aloo (potatoes), diced but not peeled
 A bunch of fresh chopped spinach
 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
 1 dried red chili
 1 tsp sugar
 2 tsp salt
 1/2 tsp cumin powder
 1/2 tsp coriander powder
 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
 1/4 tsp chili powder
 3-4 green chili
 2 tsp finely grated coconut
Steps:

 First heat the oil in a pan, add the cumin, stir-fry.
 Next break the dried red chili and fry it in the oil for a minute before adding the potatoes and pumpkin. Stir fry these for a few minutes. Add the coriander, chili powder and sugar and stir-fry for a couple more minutes.
 Add the green chilies into it.
 Now add the chopped spinach and stir until it slowly decreases in volume and blends in with the other ingredients (approximately for 3 min.). Now add the salt and sprinkle a little water (3-4 Tbsp) cover and allow it to be cooked under low heat until the potatoes are done.
 Sprinkle and stir in the ground coconut before turning off the heat.
