Hi Friends,

Pumpkin a not so favourite of kids. Even i have seen people who doesn't like this. But pumpkin have so many nutritional fact See here and lot of people don't know about that. My mom use to make this yummy sabzi. This is a very quick side dish. There were only few veggies i use to like as kid. My mom tried hard to feed me some nutrition. But i was a total junkie. by the time i grown up i tried and liked few veggies very much. This is one of them .

Notes:-

1. Amchoor is optional. My Kairi was not sour enough so used it.
2. All spices are a perfect match, so avoid skipping any.
3. You can add green chilly for more spicy version.

HOPE YOU WILL LIKE IT
