Bell peppers reduce heat while maintaining flavor.

Take 500 grams of yellow pumpkin that is not overly ripe.

Add 1/4 glass of water to a pressure cooker and place the pumpkin inside.

Cook the pumpkin in the pressure cooker until tender, ensuring the water evaporates for a better flavor.

Once cooked, let the pumpkin cool slightly before handling.

In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of mustard oil until hot.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them sizzle.

Add chopped green chilies to the pan and sauté until they are well cooked.

In a bowl, mash the cooled pumpkin with salt and 1/2 teaspoon of amchur until smooth.

Combine the sautéed green chilies and cumin mixture with the mashed pumpkin and mix well.

Serve the Kaddhu Chokha with roti or rice.
