I like your blog as I'm interested in South Indian cooking! I'll try making some of the burfis and the cabbage dry curry. I was wondering if you could help me. I've been trying to reproduce a white pumpkin curry that I had in a few hotels/restaurants in Karnataka (and maybe Kerala, too). It seems more simple than spicy and has toor (tuvar) dal (I think) and is creamy (maybe from coconut milk). I've tried many times but I can't make it taste right. I have no problems making delicious sambhar, bisi bele bhat and more but I can't seem to make this dish. Any help is appreciated and I'll keep reading your blog. Thanks, Andrea
