A PINCH OF HING

Potato Brinjal split chickpeas curry We Odiyas eat everything with great passion. Whether it is simple or something dramatic, the nuances make you appreciate the identity of the food.  But there is a day when traditional vegetable curry are made. And on this day, we start  lots of discussion at the dining table. Where did you eat, when did you eat, and at what banquet?  About the taste of grandmother, aunt, Mom, and sister's handmade.   Yes, it would have been fine if something good or a little decreased or intensified, or had a little more fun. Such things make you a better cook.    I enjoy all these little things and like to discuss with hubby.     So today's vegetable is simple; just the taste is unique. Vegetables of potato,eggplant, and split chickpeas.

Most Indians are unaware that pumpkin leaves are also edible and quite healthy. It is used in various different ways in Odia meals. Almost all Odia homes have pumpkin creepers growing in their backyard, so it's easy to pluck, cook and serve. We can eat every part of the plant.       What I am sharing today is a simple pumpkin saag recipe in  Odia style, which is one of my favourite leafy vegetables.   That's why I planted the seeds in a small rectangular tub, mainly to enjoy the blossoms and leaves, and hopefully a small pumpkin will grow soon. For this, I need your wishes. Ingredients..... 10 no.
