Pumpking Masala | Veg Curry
Pumpkin masala is a savory, delicious vegetarian curry, that tastes awesome with Indian flavors. I love this yummy versatile dish. We know pumpkin is rich in fibre content. It is also very colorful, cheap and easy to cook. It gives a nice, sweet and spicy flavor to the dish. In this recipe, the diced pumpkin is tempered with spices and cooked with masala. It makes a perfect veggie side dish along with roti, chapatti, paratha or with rice. Get the recipe of spicy Indian Pumpkin here…:)
