Pumpkin is one of the widely grown vegetables rich in vitamins. You can prepare variety of dishes using pumpkins like pumpkin pie, pumpkin kheer, pumpkin cupcakes, breads and so on. This recipe is mainly based on the preparations in Norther part of India where it is used as a dry side dish and goes very well with channa daal poories, normal poories or rice. This dish is simple to prepare and gets exotic taste from punch phoran spices, jaggrey and amchoor powder. This dish is also prepared during marriage ceremony. This is one of my favorite dry side dish. Enjoy this delicious recipe with your family and friends.    


Spicy Popcorn

Popcorn as we all know is a very popular movie-time snack which is liked by everyone. I remember during my childhood, my grandmother used to make popcorn using heated sand. She used to also make popped poha, rice, and amaranth. It used to be such a tedious process however the taste was awesome. Nowadays, there are many ways and many kinds of corn kernel available to make popcorn. In this recipe I have used oil instead of butter however you can use butter if you like. Although you can get ready made popcorn, it’s always a great fun making your own and enjoying while watching a movie at home.Though you can eat it without any specific flavor, I have added chili, garlic, cumin and amchoor powder to make it little sour and spicy. This is a big hit with my kids.
