लाल भोपळ्याचे घारगे /Sweet Pumpkin Puri

To finish up the Halloween Pumpkin I made this special treat that my mom makes and use to love it when we were kids. घारगे was one of my favorite after school snack. It surely pleases kids and comes in handy when they come home hungry after school. My mom suggested this easy method of making घारगे, it is so simple and quick that you can make it quite often. Somehow one of my whole Pumpkin from Halloween was still sitting windowsill because of my laziness :). But when my mom suggested this easy method, I thought it's about time to use up that Pumpkin. So here goes the recipe for घारगे.   Ingredients 1 Cup diced Pumpkin 3/4 Cup गुळ/Jaggery 1 Tbs बारिक रवा/Semolina 2 Tbs तांदुळ पीठी/Rice flour 1 Tbs oil Approximately 1 to 1 1/2 cup कणिक/whole wheat flour A small pinch of salt Oil for deep frying Method Microwave pumpkin with very little water in a bowl until soft, should take about 2-3 minutes depending on your microwave. Let it cool a bit and remove the excess water.
