Yellow pumpkin - manjal poosanikai, one of my favourite recipe, can be made as delicious curry with flavorful masalas. Most of them doesn't like having pumpkin as it is sweet in taste. This dal curry is a spicy curry and the sweetness of the pumpkin will be reduced. This curry is best to be served with steamed rice.
