When I developed the sanity of eating vegetables, pumpkin was one of the many that I fast grew fond of with bottle gourd, brinjal among others. The sweet taste of mellow pumpkins adds to the flavour of any veg dish. Of all the preparations involving pumpkins, there were those beautiful delicious fritters, made by my mother, which still sits permanent in my taste bud. An afternoon lunch with dal, kumro phool bhaja and fried fish....so fulfilling...what more can I ask :D
