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 🙂

This sure is a keeper Shailja. Such a simple n yumm curry.
Sonal the flavor was subtle and that is what I liked a lot 🙂 . Sri-Lankan cuisine is intriguing me these days 🙂
Getting there! Exploring Burma next for me :).

What a great timing. I just thawed some of my pumpkin store and was wondering how I could use it. Thanks for the solution.
Hilda my kiddo enjoyed this curry and that is big for me as he is a picky eater , so I can say that this recipe is a keeper 🙂
