NOTES

* Instead of cutting pumpkin into cubes, you can grate it also. But we found cubes method little convenient, so opted for this one only.

* Add jaggery in place of sugar, if you like.

* Don’t throw away discarded seeds of pumpkin. They are very healthy full of proteins. Save them to use later.

* Extra sweetness (if accidentally happens) and thick consistency can be corrected by adding milk.
