Generally I use a sugar pumpkin (ie the slightly smaller orange-skinned pumpkins also called pie pumpkins), but eg kabocha squash would also work.

Hi, what kind of pumpkin did you use ?

Yes I understand you'll find this in Pakistan too - indeed many foods have some shared origins, especially countries like India and Pakistan that have a lot of shared history (and agree it's tasty too!)

Thanks, in fairness it's not truly mine but it is one I learned early on and love!

Thanks, it is indeed both!

Yes, it's an easy way to use that last chunk!

Thanks, yes it would pair so well, and is indeed easy.

Thanks, it is indeed!

This version with pumpkin is a little less time intensive, it's still a bit unusual but tasty too!
