'Yellow Squash' is a vegetable which I first saw after coming to the US. i was very much attracted by its beautiful colour. This can be has raw in raitas or salad. This recipe is an indian touch given to the veggie and beleive me it works excellent. The same recipe can be used to make many other curries by substituting different veggies for yellow squash e.g with Zucchini to get Zucchini Curry and Bottleguard to get bottleguard curry. This goes very well with rice and roti.
