Instructions: We begin making the Mangalorean Style Cheenikayi kadubu Recipe (Pumpkin sweet idli Recipe) by grinding the broken rice with little water in a mixer to a coarse mixture till it is slightly grainy but not completely smooth.Then in a pressure cooker, boil the chopped pumpkin for about 4 whistle till it is soft and mushy so that you can mash them into a paste.Add this mixture into the ground rice mixture into a big bowl and mix in all the ingredients till it combines.Rest the mixture for about 10-15 minutes. Once done, keep a idli steamer with water on medium heat.Add a drop of oil in each holes. Then add two tablespoon of the pumpkin idli mixture and steam it for about 30 minutes.
