I love pumpkin based recipe. The variety I get in Singapore is a bit sweeter. However the Indian version is lighter orange in color and not that sweet. I like both versions. I had some left over pumpkin after pumpkin pachadi. So I was looking to use it since kids take lunch at school I normally try to include at least one vegetable during dinner. I decided to use it in Adai. I was pretty sure it would go well. As expected it was big hit
