This was one of the recipes I learnt from my Bangladeshi friends.
Appearance - Good ( I think I will say Healthy)
Smell - smells of the veggie
Taste - bland but your tummy will thank you
Ingredients
Squash / Pumpkin
4 -6 Green chillies - finely chopped
Salt to taste
The Process
Get any squash/pumpkin from the vegetable market.
Remove the skin. Use only the fleshy part.
Boil it, mash it, add the green chillies and salt.
This can be mixed with rice or can be eaten as a side dish.
This is the easiest but yet a very good one for all the potlucks.
