Pumpkin with Dried Shrimps

Pumpkin with dried shrimps or Dudhi Bhaji with dried prawns is a simple recipe in which pumpkin/dudhi and dried prawns are cooked together into a mouth-watering dish. This is a Goan recipe which combines together the goodness of pumpkin and the delectable taste of dried prawns.

While I make the Dudhi Bhaji without onion and garlic several times, this is the first time I attempted to make this pumpkin with dried shrimps. My mother in law makes it very often and I learnt this recipe from her. It can be served with both rice and rotis.
