Kumror Chenchki is a stir fry of kumro or pumpkin in Bengali style. It can be served as breakfast along with roti, or as vegetarian dish for lunch and dinner along with hot steamed rice. While I was a kid I used to hear this term "chenchki" often from my grandmother and wondered what it means. Later, after many years when I dived into my culinary journey I came to know that "Chenchki" is a slow-cooked stir fry of a vegetable with just tempered seeds and a bit of turmeric. Here, in kumror chenchki I have tempered with nigella seeds, asafoetida(hing) and dry red chilies. I have made this chenchki only with pumpkin but you can also add potatoes to it.
