Does this happen to you ? I always set out to do ” A particular ” dish and end up doing something else. It happens about 80 % of the time . Today was one of those days that I set about making a Horiatiki, but ended up with something else . Sweet Peppers , Salty feta , Juicy cherry tomatoes , crunchy cucumbers were quite a colorful and a tasty treat !

One of the most simplest , hearty meals in my home and which we make often. I love making it because the veggies I use in this are raw . The marriage of the cooked ingredients and raw ingredients in this dish is undeniable .

K’s Butternut squash Curry

Posted on 13 August 2009 by Dee

Pumpkin is the soul of any celebratory meal that is laid out in a UP home , especially vegetarians. Normally served with pooris , this exquisite golden squash is a must for all celebrations be it a wedding or a small birthday or any other get- together . Every UP bhaiyya’s ( as we fondly call them) home I have visited have served me kachoris or pooris with kaddu ki sabzi or aloo koda( pumpkin with potatoes) . K says Pumpkin is as synonymous to UP homes as eggplant is to Andhra Pradesh.
