Lamb and White Pumpkin

This is a tasty dish, that my mom used to make very rarely.


Ingredients
2 Big Onions - thinly cut
1/2 Kg Lamb or Mutton cut into medium pieces
10 pieces (1 inch by 1 inch) White Pumpkin(usually can get this in Indian shops)
1/4 Teaspoon Turmeric

1/4 Teaspoon Salt
Small amount of Tamarind Juice

Paste
3 Dried Red Chilli
1 Teaspoon Jeera
1 and 1/2 Teaspoon Coriander
2 Pieces of Coconut
1 Teaspoon Kasa kasa (optional)


In a pressure cooker, fry the Onions in oil,when they are golden, add meat, salt and tumeric powder and fry until the meat browned. Add the paste to the mixture and fry until the paste is cooked. Pressure cook this 8 minutes by adding a little water to it. Then put in the white pumpkin and tamarind. Pressure cook for another 5 minutes until the pumpkin is cooked. Note, the pumpkin will produce a lot of water when cooked, so you don't need to add any.Take out and simmer til the oil separates.
