Kale chane aur kaddu ki sabzi is a specialty of Uttar Pradesh. It is a delicious and quite unique combination of chick pea with yellow pumpkin/ bhopla/ kashiphal/ kaddu. This tangy curry is usually served with poori and kachoris but goes very well with paratha and roti.
My Husband is from Kanpur and I learned making this kale chane aur kaddu ki sabzi from my Mother In Law and now making it quite often. Pumpkin is quite a blend vegetable but taste very good if you make it tangy and spicy. In U.P we add raw mango aur mango powder for sourness and add some sugar to balance the taste and make pumpkin slight khaata meetha. Most of our pumpkin recipe have sweet sour taste.
Yellow pumpkin is a very healthy and nutritious vegetable , Very high in minerals, Vitamins A,C and E, Rich in beta carotene, high antioxidant level, rich in Iron and Folate. It is low in calories and is rich in fiber so is ideal for weight loss diet. So its a good idea to include yellow pumpkin in our regular diet.
