Pumpkin Puli kulambu recipe – Pumpkin puli kuzhambu recipe – Side dish for Rice

Puli kulambu is something I can have anytime. I got this white flesh pumpkin from India from my mum’s backyard. I love the freshness of it. In Singapore mostly we get the orange one (my mum calls it a fruit). After making the mash pumpkin I had some left over. I had decided to try out puli kulambu with it. I am pretty sure it will taste good. Sweetness from Pumpkin, spiciness from chilli powder and puli kulambu podi really enhanced the flavour
