    Khatta Meetha Kaddu… Kaddu or Pumpkin is one of those vegetables which always gets a secondary treatment in most house holds.  On the contrary, pumpkin is one of the healthiest vegetables that I have come across.

    Full of calcium, potassium, phosphorous, copper et al, pumpkin is even a good source of dietary fiber. Its seeds are full of vitamins, proteins, and minerals.

    That’s why, I often make pumpkin full dishes like Pumpkin Spice Granola or kaddu sabzi every fall. Whereas Pumpkin Raita and Khatta Meetha Kaddu Recipe are my favorite accompaniment that I make to relish with phulkas and biryani.

    Khatta Meetha Kaddu recipe is a simple everyday Indian vegetarian dish made using pumpkin. It goes very well with paratha or Poori. Read its recipe.

    Pumpkin, when cooked properly, can beat any Bhindi or Potato. And Khatta Meetha Kaddu recipe is the best example of the same.

    Simply cooked using basic spices, Khatta Meetha Kaddu or sweet and sour pumpkin curry can be made on the usual weekdays and even during weekends when your family sits together for a lovely, homely meal.

    Here’s my step-by-step guide for making sweet sour Khatta Meetha Kaddu, do follow the recipe and make this delicious sabzi soon!
