I used the pumpkin wedge for this soup and the seeds & fibre portion for my pumpkinseed thogayal.

INGREDIENTS:

Pumpkin - 1/4 kg.
Tomato - 1
Crushed ginger - 1/2 tsp.
Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp.
White pepper powder - 1 tsp.
Butter - 1 tablespoons
Cinnamon - 1" stick
Cloves - 3
Green chillies - 1

METHOD:

Heat butter in a pressure pan. Add cinnamon, cloves & cumin seeds. Saute for a while. Then add chopped pumpkin, tomato, crushed ginger and salt. Pour in 2 cups of water and pressure cook for a whistle. When cool, grind it in a mixie, strain, & reheat. Mix in the white pepper powder. Garnish with sliced green chillies and serve hot.
