      Aarthi, I'm so glad I found your blog. I will be trying this recipe today, in hopes of recreating my grandmother's pumpkin curry recipe. I can't wait to try some of your other recipes. Thank you for including the step-by-step photos, and for also including the translation of the words khatta, meetha, and kaddu.
