00:00 Hello, you lovely people. This is me the Bombay Chef Varun Inamdar and welcome to 'Get Curried'.

00:07 Well, today's recipe is straight from God's own country, Kerala.

00:12 Well, the recipe for the day is an Istio.

00:14 And not just any stew, it is a Red Pumpkin Istio.

00:19 Let's begin.

00:19 You get a variety of stew of course in Kolkata, you get it in Delhi,

00:29 you get it in Lucknow, you also get it in Kerala.

00:33 Well, Kerala is known for its stew and appams.

00:36 The stew that I'm making today is deliberately pronounced Istio.

00:41 Reasons best known to us.

00:43 But the whole point is I'm changing the core ingredient today.

00:46 And I'm making the same classic recipe using Red Pumpkins.

00:50 Let's quickly cut and keep that aside.

00:53 First things first, we take a Red Pumpkin.

00:55 Of course, wash it nicely.

00:57 Clean it up and then cut it like so.

01:00 Now what I'm doing is, I'm cutting it into wedges.

01:03 So that the plating also looks wonderful.

01:06 So cut this into a half, then into a quarter.

01:10 And then we cut this into 3 wedges like so.

01:12 Let's scoop out the seeds like so.

01:16 And of course, you can keep all these aside, sun dry them, dry it in an oven.

01:22 And use these as pumpkin seeds.

01:24 For now, I'm just keeping it aside.

01:26 In case you feel like removing the peel or the skin of the pumpkin.

01:31 By all means, you can do that as well.

01:33 Let's keep this aside and move on to making the stew.

01:40 Let's turn the flame on.

01:42 And begin with Coconut Oil.

01:44 I'm going to keep a little aside for the second tempering as well.

01:47 Let's begin the tempering with a stick of Cinnamon.

01:51 Couple of pieces of Green Cardamom.

01:53 And a couple of Cloves.

01:55 Let's add in Juliennes of Ginger.

01:57 Juliennes of Green Chillies.

02:00 Now really depends on the kind of spice that you wish to take.

02:03 You can keep increasing or decreasing.

02:05 Once the oil becomes well flavoured,

02:09 we'll be adding in the wedges of pumpkin.

02:12 Let's saute this for a couple of minutes and add in the thin Coconut Milk.

02:24 Couple of grains of Salt.

02:26 And along with this, a generous sprinkling of homemade Garam Masala.

02:32 We stir this well and allow the stew to cook till of course the pumpkins are well done.

02:38 Or to the doneness of your choice.

02:40 This will take not more than 8-10 minutes on medium flame.

02:43 While the pumpkins are getting cooked,

02:48 let's quickly move on to the second tempering.

02:50 For which of course, we need another pan.

02:52 And we begin with the remainder of the Coconut Oil.

02:56 Once that heats up, we're going to begin with Mustard Seeds.

02:59 Let's move on to Red Onions or Shallots.

03:04 And brown these lightly.

03:07 Once the Onions turn brown,

03:14 we're going to add in a sprig of Curry Leaves.

03:20 A quick stir. And this now straight goes in the stew.

03:24 Once the pumpkin is cooked and ready,

03:31 let's finally add in thick Coconut Cream.

03:34 We cook this on medium flame for precisely 30 seconds.

03:38 A quick swirl.

03:40 And with this, off goes the flame.

03:43 With this, our Red Pumpkin Stew is done and ready.

03:48 What do you serve this with?

03:50 Well, classically Appams.

03:52 While no rice, no parathas, absolutely nothing.

03:55 Just Appams or just like this.

03:58 No two ways about it.

03:59 Bye for now.
