One of the most sought after Oriya delicacies, made out of pumpkin flowers, makes for a perfect side dish with rice-daal/Pakhala.

It’s difficult to find pumpkin flowers in cities these days, I plant few seeds in the pot to cook the pumpkin leaves/flowers/stem etc.

Every part of the plant is edible like: flowers(male flowers only, female will bear the fruits), leaves, vines, fruits, seeds! Amazing plant, isn’t it?
