Namaskara Earthlings! Or Shall I say Nama-Slay people of the Earth!  Halloween season dropped a giant pumpkin on my door step and I swear I have enough leftover roast pumpkin to feed an entire village! 🙈 Well, the real story is........ I ordered one full pumpkin on amazon prime instead of one slice and the rest is history. Twenty days later, still more frozen pumpkin in the fridge! When I saw the giant mother of a pumpkin (I could barely carry the thing) I didn't know what to do with it! (thanks to amazon prime for door step delivery!) I order all my groceries from them. After spending 10 thousand hours staring at the pumpkin wondering what to do, I sliced and roasted three giant batches of pumpkin in the oven with some salt, oil, crushed pepper and loads of garlic (roasted garlic is the best!) And so...! I have decided to make some parathas with the left over roasted pumpkin (skin included!) This is literally my superpower! I can take anything from the pantry o...
