Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pumpkin
   Begin by peeling and chopping the pumpkin into cubes. Set aside for later use.

2. Heat the Mustard Oil
   In a deep frying pan or kadhai, heat the mustard oil over medium flame until it reaches a sizzling point.

3. Add Panch Phoron Masala
   Once the oil is hot, add the Panch Phoron Masala. Let it sizzle for 30 seconds to release the spices’ fragrance.

4. Add Aromatics
   Next, add turmeric powder, curry leaves, and dried red chilies. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, to ensure the spices blend well.

5. Cook the Pumpkin
   Add the chopped pumpkin cubes and salt to the pan. Stir well and cook for a minute, allowing the spices to coat the pumpkin evenly.

6. Simmer the Sabzi
   Sprinkle a little water over the mixture and reduce the flame to low. Cover the pan and let the pumpkin cook until it becomes soft and tender (about 10 minutes). Keep stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pan.

7. Garnish and Serve
   Once the pumpkin is cooked through, turn off the heat. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves for a burst of flavor and color.
