This is the side dish that is served with the famous chur chur parathas and yes, this too like the recipe for potato gravy, was shared by Vaishali.
I literally fell in love with this dish for its awesome taste and it complimented the paratha so well. I licked the bowl clean and I am sure this is going to be my new favorite that will feature in my kitchen often henceforth.

Simple and delicious curry.. So perfect with roti
Somehow, curry with pumpkin never entices me, always preferred it in sambhar and kaara kuzhambu, have to shun that inhibition and try this once!!
