Sweet and sour pumpkin sabzi  is generally made in religious ceremonies food as it can be made without onion too.  It tastes great with poori. Once I made in lunch in a get together at my home.  Everyone liked it and many of my friends asked its recipe. It is very easy and simple to make.  Here is the whole process how we can make it:

1/4 tsp of fenugreek seeds

1/4 tsp of ajvain/carom seeds
1 tbsp of grated ginger.
salt to taste
1 finely chopped green chili
1/4 tsp of red chili powder
1/2 tsp of turmeric powder
1 tsp of tamarind paste
3-4 tsp of sugar
2 tbsp of finely chopped cilantro
1/4 tsp of garam masala

2.  Heat the oil in a pressure cooker.  Add asafoetida, and the mustard seeds and let it splutter.
3.  Now add cumin seeds, carom seeds, fennel seeds and mix.  Now put fenugreek seeds. 
4.  Put ginger and cook for few seconds.
5.  Now it is the time to add pumpkin pieces, turmeric, green chili, red chili powder, and salt.  Mix well.
6. Next add 1 glass of water and close the lid.
7.  As the first whistle comes, lower the heat to minimum and cook for 8-10 minutes. Then remove from heat.
8.  Let the pressure cook cool down.  Now open the lid and put tamarind paste and sugar and again keep it on the heat.

10.  Add cilantro and garam masla .
11.  Sweet and sour, chatpata kaddu is ready to serve.
