This looks amazing, I want to make it so badly but I'll have to substitute a different squash, I don't think there's any fresh pumpkin around anymore.

We had it for dinner yesterday! I didn't have any fenugreek at hand, so I used sage. The dish was very creamy, comforting and a pleasure to eat. I was very happy about not having to spit out any fish bones this time, but my husband said he still preferred the bengali fish curry (though he asked for a second helping of the pumpkin 🙂
