Yellow Pumpkin Masala Poori is a spicy poori make with pumpkin or kaddu along with spices to make a filling meal anytime.
When I came to selecting for Y, I didn’t have anything in mind. Didn’t know what to make and finally decided to on Yellow colour and had Yellow Pumpkin, Yellow Split dal to select from. So making a poori with Yellow Pumpkin was a good idea and I decided to make it.
I made these pooris along with the warqi pooris and we just couldn’t decide which was better. Both the recipes turned out great and would be surely repeating again.
So Yellow Pumpkin Masala Poori is my choice for Y in the AtoZ Flatbread and More, where I am doing AtoZ Indian Flatbread. If you keen to know what’s for Y in the AtoZ dosa Varieties, check out.

There was one time when I always had pumpkin puree in my freezer and would add it to all my dishes. Adding it in pooris would give it a wonderful sweetness, and I am sure it would be fantastic.
