Pumpkin (known as parangikkai in Tamil) adai has a totally different flavor from the traditional adai recipe, I have shared earlier. This protein rich and nutritious adai has the goodness of lentils, pumpkin, pearl onions and herbs like coriander and curry leaves. Pumpkin as we know is rich in antioxidants which may help prevent various illness. It is rich in vitamins and minerals but low in calories. It is also a good source of fiber. It is very flavorful and can be had as a breakfast or dinner. Since it has vegetables in it, a simple tomato chutney or cream (malai) goes well with this adai. It is very easy to make and does not need fermentation. Learn how to make pumpkin/ parangikkai adai following this easy recipe with step wise pictures and video.
