Lankan Pumpkin Curry /Mild Spicy Wattakka Curry
Sri Lankan Pumpkin Curry
This Pumpkin curry (wattakka
curry) is one of our favourite Sri Lankan Recipes. It is mild spicy and
cooked using green chili instead of red chili. Therefore the appearance is yellowish.I
have shared another way of cooking pumpkin in a curry called Wattakka Kalu pol maluwa,which
use all spices and coconut after roasting till brown.The gravy of this curry is
so thick and creamy due to grated coconut. Use fresh peppercorn in coconut paste
instead of pepper powder and see the aroma and taste of this Sri Lankan curry!
