YELLOW WINTER SQUASH... image from Wikimedia Commons file

I am finally here posting my First Guest Blog.. I should say it feels nice.. After a long hunt for a squash family member.. I finally settled for yellow squash.. and working with this for the first time.
Well, decided to make a guilt free soup with no oil or any kind of fat.. Lately I have been trying to discover oil free foods.. and this wonderful bowl definitely tops the charts.. Its a whole meal by itself.

To be honest, I was slightly surprised by the amazing creamy soupy consistency it had finally.

Yellow Squash - 2 no. (small)
Masoor Dhal - 50 gm
Potato - 1 no. (medium)
Onion - 1 no. (small)
Garlic - 3 pods

Garam Masala - 1/2 tsp
Cilantro Leaves - for garnishing

1. Now add the spice powders.. and pressure cook for 2 whistles or until soft..
