SWEET AND SOUR BUTTERNUT SQUASH OR PUMPKIN



Sweet and Sour Butternut Squash or Pumpkin image

This dish from Madhur Jaffrey, the well-known Indian cookbook author, belongs to a category of Bangladeshi foods known as bharats. Part relish and part vegetable dish, they add extra flavor to a meal. "We are beginning to find peeled and seeded butternut squash in our supermarkets now, making this dish a snap to make," Ms. Jaffrey says. Use mustard oil for an authentic Bengali taste, or substitute olive oil. Mustard oil and other Asian ingredients and seasonings like asafetida and urad dal can be found in Indian food stores and specialty shops.
