Squash Raita
This is a very basic versatile recipe that can be used with almost all the winter and summer squashes. I use same formula for butternut squash, pumpkin, acorn squash, zucchini, lauki/dudhi (opo squash). It tastes really good with boiled potatoes. It is a great condiment to have with any kind of paratha, or can replace salad. You can use the formula with roasted bell pepper or steamed green beans too!!! Following proportions are merely a guideline so please change according to your taste. Ingredients - 1 cup cubes of Butternut Squash 1-2 Green Chilies 1/2 cup Yogurt Salt per taste 1-2 tbsp Roasted Peanut Powder Chopped Cilantro Tempering/PhodaNi - 2 tsp Oil, few mustard and cumin seeds, few curry leaves.
