This is the first time, I am cooking with Pumpkin leaves after I got them at a farmer's market. These leaves are nutritious and offer a variety of nutrients namely vitamin C, B6, Iron, antioxidants, Folic acid, fiber and many more. When we mix tgem micronutrients. They are perfect as a curry, Paratha or chutney. Give them a try instead of discarding them. You will love it.
