Last week has been nice and cool and that meant some piping hot, tasty food! Got fresh green pumpkin from the market and thought of making my mom’s special Kaddu ki Sabji and Parathe.
Pumpkin is not liked by many but it has many nutritional benefits – It is rich in vitamins and minerals and low in calories. It is a rich source of fiber, helps regulate blood pressure, reduces the risk of cancer, helps in combating diabetes and protects immunity.
