- 1/2 cup water
Instructions

- As the water starts evaporating, add the pumpkin and give it a gentle mix and put the lid back on
- After about 5 minutes or so, you will notice the pumpkin releasing some moisture. At that time, reduce tge flame, take off the lid and let the pumpkin cook for another 10 minutes on low flameNote: Stir very gently
- Check if the pumpkin has turned soft. Once there is absolutely no water left, your Pumpkin Veg is ready.
- Note: The reason why we cook the coconut, water, onion and oil first, is because Yellow pumpkin cooks very quickly, unlike oter veggies.
