Awesome, Brother Tom. Thank you so much. You have answered all my questions on the subject. Hope to make some pumpkin curry this weekend!!

Still,I just went back and looked at the picture, and the photo looks more like our Squash than like the orange pumpkins. Perhaps what we call pumpkin is squash in India? These details keep me in the dark somehow, but I am so glad to get help here! Thank you.

It seems that there are orange pumpkins in India, according to a search on the World Wide Web.

Yours in hopes of pumpkin curry!

The author of that recipe lives here in North America; so it stands to reason that she is referring to our type of pumpkin.
