Pumpkin is a vegetable that is never preferred by most of people. There is a misconception about the pumpkin taste. Some people be like ‘Yuck! Kaddu Ki Sabji’ before even tasting it. But pumpkin is not that bad as people think of it. Pumpkin is an exceptionally rich source of nutrients that are beneficial for the body. It is rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, Vitamin E, vitamin K, and many others. Pumpkin contains high dietary fiber that helps to remove body fat. I also don’t think that pumpkin has a bad taste either. It is mildly sweet, and yellow in color. We can make different kinds of recipes with pumpkin, like pethe ka halwa (Pumpkin Desert), Dry Petha ki Sabzi.
