In recent times many types of food innovation is in the culinary world.

Iddli accepted as the best and healthy breakfast all over the world ,is innovated in many

shapes and flavours.

Some food innovation from my personal view are too much to digest.Do not want to controverse on that topic.

Well,I came across this  innovated pumpkin iddli recipe few days back and tried it.

The texture and taste was really good.Worth trying the recipe.

As pumpkin has loads of VitaminC ,you could make food like this for your family.

The sweetness of the pumpkin was minimal .The authentic match to this dish is ginger

chutney ( will upload recipe).

Anyway after tasting the iddli ,I think it can be served with any hot spicy chutney.
