Yellow pumpkin Poriyal is a super soft, tasty side dish for your lunch. The yellow pumpkins are perfect for a poriyal because they have a soft texture with quite hardness. That is why they are a great vegetable for a poriyal. Plus there is no need for any steam cooking or pressure cooking for this dish. The cubed pumpkins are sauted in the oil and cooked with the moisture in the vegetable. If you are using a month old pumpkin, sprinkle a handful of water and cook. Generally we won't add any water for this poriyal and it will be ready within 10 minutes. As usual I have added the ground coconut mixture for this poriyal also, if you do not like just add a handful of fresh coconuts. If you are using fresh coconuts, sprinkle cumin powder and then transfer it to the serving dish. This Yellow Pumpkin Poriyal goes well with any kuzhambu or rice varieties. I like to eat this poriyal as a salad before my lunch because you can enjoy the mild sweetness in the vegetable when you eat it separa...
