Kumro means pumpkin in English and kaddu in Hindi, Kumror Chakka is a traditional bengali vegetable dish made with pumpkin, potato or aloo and kala chana or black Chickpeas or kalo chola (in Bengali). It does not have onion, garlic and any dairy based product so it can be used as a Vegan recipe too. The method of cooking this dish differs slightly from home to home in West Bengal. Every home has their own variation but the main ingredients are always the same. In summer, we get fresh pumpkin or kaddu in the market. It is a perfect dish for summer afternoon. In summer it is very tough to cook, so along with some steamed rice it can be a perfect meal as it is easy and gets prepared in no time.
Serve Kumror Chokka along with Bengali Style Cholar Dal and Bengali Luchi for a weekday meal.
