RED PUMPKIN ROTTI/SIHIGUMBALA KAYI ROTTI
Today actually I was not willing to do palya or raita or huli using red pumpkin/sihi kumbala kayi. So thought for a while and realised that I was going to prepare akki rotti/rice flour rotti for breakfast, So thought of adding pumpkin to rice rotti like we make rice rotti using many other kinds of vegetables. so went ahead and made the same as I had planned and it turned out too tasty and yummy, moreover it is very quick and easy to make. So very gladly sharing the recipe of the same with you all.
