Spicy Squash – Indian Recipe

This is a north Indian dish, spicy, sweet and sour taste all in one. You can use butternut or acorn squash (but not speghetti squash).

Here are the ingredients:

1 tablespoons mango powder (amchoor) 4 tablespoons sugar (cheeni)

4 cups of sliced squash (kadoo)
3 tablespoon oil
1/8 teaspoon asafetida (hing)
