Matha Ila Thoran (\u0d2e\u0d24\u0d4d\u0d24 \u0d07\u0d32 \u0d24\u0d4b\u0d30\u0d7b-Pumpkin leaf stir fry) is traditional vegetable side dish from Malayalee\u2019s Kitchen. I\u00a0used to have this in my child hood days when Mom put this together as a quick side dish from our own vegetable garden. These leaves are a good source of different types of vitamins, minerals and rich in anti-oxidants, such as alpha-carotene and Beta\u2013carotene which helps to slow down ageing process. Here I am preparing it from leaves collected from my own home garden, and hence is in full confidence on its organic benefits.<\/p>\n
