Roast the Spices: Begin by lightly dry roasting each spice separately—dried red chilies, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds, black peppercorns, and coriander seeds. Allow them to cool and then grind into a fine powder.

Sauté Aromatics: In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the sunflower oil. Add the slit green chilies and grated ginger, sautéing for about a minute until fragrant.

Cook Mango: Add the diced raw mango into the pan, along with salt and a splash of water. Cook until the mango is approximately ¾ cooked.

Incorporate Pumpkin: Next, introduce the pumpkin cubes, cooking until tender. Add more water if necessary, ensuring the curry maintains a semi-dry consistency.

Finish with Coconut: Finally, incorporate the grated coconut into the curry and turn off the flame.
