Ingredients

How to Make Jhat Pat Squash Bhaji

• If using a pumpkin, dice the pumpkin first into medium sized pieces.
• Do not make the pieces too small.
• If using a squash, just put the squash in the microwave for about 5-6 minutes with the skin on.
• This will soften the squash and help you cut it easily.
• Then dice the squash.
• It is good to have the skin on as it is full of nutrients.
• Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan.
• Set it at medium to medium high heat.
• Add to this the chopped garlic pieces and the onions and saute till the aroma starts coming and the onions are slightly cooked.
• Then add the diced squash pieces, the turmeric, the green chillies, and salt.
• Reduce the heat a little. Stir and saute, and then cover the pan with a lid (to retain the food flavours) and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Do not add water to this dish.
• Serve hot with rice or chapatti.
