Extremely delighted to share – I got an opportunity to ramble for our local community magazine this month – Village Matters, Sunbury Matters & Shepperton Matters.
My recipe Vegetable Pulav got featured as the recipe of the month.

With two kiddos at home , I am in the process of finding shortcuts in the process of cooking or finding easy curries too… One among easy cooks is this Pumpkin Coconut Curry.

I love this !! This is absolutely easy and can be whipped up in about 15 minutes.. Red Pumpkin is also known as Mathan in Tamil or Lal Bhopla in Hindi. A family pleasing side among kids too. You may serve it to your toddlers for snacking too , just as I do..

There are other recipes in my space that belongs to Palakad Cusine.
