Looks great and really unusual I think though my eldest would find hard as he hates coconut and pumpkin lol
Don’t garnish with coconut and do not tell him it has pumpkin and see if he likes it or not 🙂
oh guesses pumpkin he absolutely hates it, prob because i made a rather bad pumpkin pie a few years back x
Hehehehe. It happens . I don’t like pumpkin pie 🙂

Sonal the flavor was subtle and that is what I liked a lot 🙂 . Sri-Lankan cuisine is intriguing me these days 🙂
