#Bento - Honey simmered Kabocha: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/4 cup water, 2Tb of honey and a dash of salt, add the kabocha and stir to coat. Cover and microwave on high for 4 to 5 minutes until soft, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Knead dough for about 4-5 minutes until it becomes soft. (For kneading this much amount of water 1 cup water is used). Grease the dough with little oil, cover it and keep it aside for 20-25 minutes for fermenting. Meanwhile prepare stuffing for the kachoriâs. Heat oil in a pan and add asafoetida and cumin seeds. Roast for a while, and then add green chilies, turmeric powder, coriander powder, fennel powder and green peas. Mash the green peas. Now also add mashed potatoes, salt, red chilly powder, garam masala and mango powder. Mix all ingredients well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Dough has fermented, now stuff the kachoriâs.
