I love cooking 🍲😋and also I had always helped my mommy in the kitchen in cooking whenever I was free right from childhood.In the previous post I had posted an article about pumpkin describing how beneficial it is for our health and beauty.
It is ironical that most people don't like pumpkin in food.However, it tastes well if cooked properly.

Variation and tips :
- 1) You can add curry patta or leaves after garlic.If you want to use dried curry patta then you can add it before adding kasuri methi.Just crush dried curry leaves and then dry roast it on taxa for few seconds only on low flame and add.
- 2). You can add ajwain into it.You can use kalaunji too if you want sweet sour taste.
- 3). You can add saunf powder instead of saunf too if you like but then you have to add it with other masalas.I have skipped saunf in my recipe today.
- 4). You can skip garlic.
- 5). You can add ginger instead of garlic.
- 6). You can change the quantity of red chilli and green chilli according to your taste.
- 7). You can skip sugar or add according to your taste.
