• Take this pumpkin-dal paste in a vessel with crushed garlic cloves, crushed tomatoes, rasam powder, curry leaves with enough salt and water together in a bowl.
• Heat enough oil and add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, dry red chillies, slit opened green chillies and asafoetida powder. Let this fry. Add the pumpkin-dal, water.
