Kaddu ki khatti meethi sabzi is quite interesting dish which is prepared using yellow pumpkin. this sabzi gets tangyness from tamarind pulp and sweetness from sugar or jaggery powder.

Kaddu or Pumpkin is common vegetable which is often prepared as a sabzi in northern states of India. Often we prepare the kaddu ki sabzi during fasting days of navratri. It goes well with plain parathas and pooris.
Preparing kaddu / pumpkin sabzi is easy whereas peeling kaddu is a bit tough task. I have a trick, first i wash and cut the long pieces of kaddu with a big knife and later I peel it. Peeling whole kaddu at once is not easy. Share if you find any other easy way to peel kaddu.

Pumpkin / kaddu sabzi can be prepared within 15 – 20 minutes. It is quite a routine recipe, except adding jaggery powder and mango powder or tamarind paste to enhance the taste of vegetable. We can make kaddu without adding these ingredients as well but I personally prefer these ingredients. Here is the complete recipe for kaddu ki sabzi.
