Potato and Squash curry with Lentil Fritters

Every day while entering into the kitchen my daily problem is to think what to cook. It’s really a horrible job, before marriage I thought something I will cook for our daily lunch or dinner. But to think that something is a big task for me. I think all of you are facing the same problem every day.

After so much of plan I called my Maa and she told me to cook one nice Squash Curry with Daler Bora or Lentil Fritters. It’s a very simple recipe but with plain rice this one is just too good. Hope most of you know this recipe but this one is for those who don’t know.

Squash is really very good for health and with the Dal or Lentil it becomes healthier. This one is perfect for a simple lunch.

Cooking time:  30 mints.
