Pumpkin Puri (sweet)

 Pumpkin/ Lal kaddu /Lal Bhopla is a familiar vegetable for all of us. Actually I had made this post for RCI, but could not post it.These puris are a favorite with my family.

The best part is, these puris can be carried  while travelling. they don’t get spoilt.  But mine don’t last that long as they finish the moment I make them.They taste superb when hot.
