Pumpkin raita... Steam pumpkin, mash it, add mustard paste . My friend's mom used to make fresh paste, I used readymade english mustard paste. Now add a little sugar and salt to taste .. I had no chillies at home to chop and add... to this mixture add an equal amount of yoghurt/ curd. I have added a chonk / temper of dry red chilli, mustard and kadi patta/ curry leaves... was not sure of adding kadi patta / curry leaves but did it all the same as I love the smell of kadi patta / curry leaves..... anyway the tang of mustard as u take a spoonful of the raita is awesome and makes this raita a winner... Whenever I eat this, I remember my friend's mom's cooking fondly ...
