Pumpkin Puree - Pressure Cooker Method

I had a pumpkin left over in my home , hence i made a puree with it . I have already posted a pumpkin Puree made in oven here , but it took longer to bake and puree them . This method is more faster and the entire puree can be made in 10 minutes . Off to the recipe .

Ingredients:

• Pumpkin - 1 no , cut in halves and De-seeded
• Water - 1/2 cup

Method:

Slice the pumpkin . Take the pressure cooker , add the water and now add the sliced pumpkin to the cooker.

Cover with the lid and pressure cook the contents for 2 hisses . Now open the cooker and allow it to cool an bit . Remove the skin of the pumpkin . Its really easy as the skin nearly fall off once cooked .

Transfer the contents to a food processor or a mixer and puree them .
 
 Pumpkin Puree is ready to use .
 
Transfer the puree to Ziploc covers or boxes and freeze them and use as desired . I made Pumpkin Pancakes using the puree . Click here to check the recipe .
