Gummadikaya majjiga pulusu, Kumbalakai majjige hullu, Pumpkin buttermilk curry

Today's recipe is Kumbalakai majjige huli in kannada, Gummadikaya majjiga pulusu in telugu and the name i decided in english is  Pumpkin buttermilk curry 🤗 . The pumpkin which i am using today is in orange color. In telugu we call it as gummadikaya, in kannada as Kumbalakai, in Tamil as parangikai. Today's recipe is No Onion No Garlic for upcoming Dussehra festival . We use to get pumpkin in all seasons when we are in Odisha( Talcher  & Khurdha were we stayed), each piece for 10/- 😃.  After coming Jolarpet (Chennai) i found it in market yesterday for first time. There are number of varieties in pumpkin, white pumkin, yellow pumpkin..  But we both like  this orange colored pumkin alot. Recipes which we can prepare curries,fries, halwa and many more recipes with pumpkin.

      We can prepare this huli by adding channa dal, rice etc., but this is plain and simple way which I use to prepare regularly, this majjiga huli is less spicy and goes well with rice.
