Aloo Kumror Chakka

This is a traditional Bengali dish made with sweet pumpkin mixed with potato. It is a complete Vegeterian dish with no use of onion or garlic. I am using as cumin seeds (Jeera) as Phoron but I found different people use different Masala as Phoron like some of my friend uses phoron like Kaalo Jeera (Kalonji Seeds), Paanch Phoron and Red Chili. So, it is better to find your own style and make your own Kumror Chakka. You can have this with Luchi, poori, paratha or roti.
