Pumpkin Khichdi

Pumpkin is one of my favorite vegetables. Today I prepared one of my Maa’s special Pumpkin Khichdi. She used to prepare this Khichdi every Friday during her Santoshimaa Puja . And I really don’t prefer to take non-veg on that day so that I used to have this khichdi with Maa. My husband last night went for grocery shopping and he brought some fresh pumpkin so I just made this for our last night dinner.
And my little one also likes the khichdi so much. It’s an easy and tasty recipe any day you can make this. Any curry, Fried potato you can have with this khichdi, but I prefer to have fried Pumpkin with this.
