Quick and super easy to make, this dry curry can be had with tomatorasam / sambhar / vettal kuzhambu or even just curd rice. The goodness of Squash along with some juicy carrots and no -garlic no-onion affair makes it a great combo even with hot parathas / rotis. Some people mash up the vegetable a bit to make Parangikai Poriyal but we at home prefer this just done. I have added carrots to make it healthier for my kid and also add in extra beta carotene to the dish !
We use this veggie extensively at home, and its a sure winner everytime. Sending this to Blogging Marathon's Day 2 with the theme "Curry in a Hurry"
