Koddel is a traditional Mangalorean recipe which has a mix of sweet , tangy and spicy flavor infused in the curry . The soft and juicy pumpkin absorbs all these flavors and it is a treat to the tastebuds as we savor it .
This recipe is a favorite of mine ever since my aunt prepared this and served me as a child . The flavor is still so fresh and vivid . Recently while speaking to my cousin I asked about this recipe and she happily shared the steps with me and viola it is ready for my Lunch today . I dont know why she called it Puli Bajji..but that name is what I am familiar with .
Preparation time : 10 mins
Cooking Time : 20 mins
Serves: 3-4
Complexity: simple
