All the pumpkins around during the beautiful autumn remind me of the sweet pumpkin puris my mom used to make. I remember I never liked pumpkin before my mom made these for me. I couldn’t believe they were made of pumpkin.

Ingredients
Red Pumpkin – 2 cups
wheat flour
Jaggery – 3/4 cup(you can vary this as sweet as you like it)
salt to taste
oil to fry

Method
Pressure cook the red pumpkin and jaggery in a pressure cooker till soft.
Once cooled, mash it up and add wheat flour as much needed to form a firm dough.
Keep aside for 10 min.
Roll out small puris and deep fry.
Enjoy hot or cool with a warm cup of masala tea
