I know its been long since I posted a recipe and I regret my absence, but being on a life changing journey has its ups and downs. In this time, I discovered a side to myself that I had no clue about , the fact that guilt free food can be absolutely delicious is my new discover.We all love pumpkins and in Bengal, pumpkin holds a special place of respect in the kitchen . But the humble pumpkin also has this soul comforting thing about itself . Be it sweet , indulgent kumror chhokka or a nice creamy kaddu ka halwa, we do manage to use this bright orange vegetable to its fullest .
Besides all this we forget that the humble pumpkin is a rich source of minerals, like potassium . and is also rich in vitamin c . Well, I'm sure we all can google the health benefits of pumpkin and figure out , so I can cut the nutrition class short . Sharing a lovely recipe where the common vegetable might not be the hero , but does add that spunk into the salad .
