Desi Pumpkin

Desi pumpkin is very adaptable in Indian and South Asian cuisines because of its unique earthy flavor and slight sweetness that enhances when cooked:

• When used in savory curries, it is frequently diced and cooked with spices, allowing it to absorb flavors well.
• As a quick side dish, stir-fried veggies are frequently chopped and sautéed with herbs, spices, and other vegetables.
• Soups and Stews: It is perfect for thick, creamy soups and filling stews because to its tender texture when cooked.
• Desserts: Because of its inherent sweetness, it is used in traditional sweets like halwa.
