PUMPKIN LEAVES SUBZI WITH TOMATOES

Here is the third recipe with pumpkin leaves.  These leaves are bit rough to handle as there is tiny thorns in it but unharming.  We can remove the thorns gently or cut the leaves as it is after washing.  

As you all are aware, the leafy vegetables are having many health  benefits and it is available now, I am preparing the subzi with it.  

Recently I have posted the poriyal and molagootal and now with tomatoes.  If you wish you can add some other vegetables like carrot, potato, sweet potato etc. for making the poriyal and molagootal and with subzi too.
