Powder the sugar in a mixie and add to the oil. Cream well till it dissolves
Flour the raisins and walnuts in a TBSP of flour and set aside
Blend the homemade Pumpkin Puree and the yoghurt till its creamy and add to the sugar-oil mixture. Mix well.
Pour the sieved flour mixture to the wet ingredients and give it a nice stir. Do not over beat. Now add the desiccated coconut, floured raisins-walnuts and half of the Choco Chips
Meanwhile preheat oven to 190 deg C for 10 mins.
Pour the batter to a lined loaf tin and sprinkle the rest of the choco chips on top
Bake for 30-35 minutes or till it’s done and a tooth pick comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack for 10 - 15 mins. Cut and serve as thick slices (tip - use a serrated knife to slice up).
The original recipe served it with Nutella, but we liked it as it is :-)
Notes
Contrary to what I had feared, this bread does not smell of the vegetable at all.
Each oven has its own internal temperature. Baking time may vary a little accordingly
If using store bought / refrigerated ingredients, bring all ingredients to room temperature before mixing / baking
Do not overbeat the batter, gently mix dry and wet mixes with spatula so no dry parts are left.
You might want to add a tsp or two of oil to the batter if it gets too dry while mixing the ingredients
This bread keeps well for few days in the refrigerator (if it lasts that long :-))
