Pumpkin Paradox

Recipe #303216 | 35 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 2 -4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Vic Krishnan (Kannan)

Red pumpkin is high in fibre but is sweet...so to balance the taste with a bit of sourness and bit of spice was a challenge...in the end, had to take a bit from the East and the West to perfect this recipe.
