Glad to hear you have enjoyed there as well. Enjoy making this at home - this recipe is a little lighter on the sweetness than you may typically find in restaurants, but you can adjust a little to taste.

I can pretty much guarantee it will be the same place! It has been there for many years and as best I know, there isn't and wasn't previously another Afghan restaurant in the city. Glad you had equally good memories and hope you enjoy making yourself!

I landed here searching for an "Afghan pumpkin recipe" because of a craving and a memory of a dish I had years ago in an Afghan restaurant in Cambridge. I'm delighted by the coincidence that this recipe is likely inspired by the same place!

There are some tasty dishes to try and this is a great place to start!

It's definitely worth trying!

Thanks, I agree it's not complicated but works so well. The slightly sweet squash is nicely balanced out by the more savory yogurt. I understand it seems unusual but it definitely works!

Thanks, it's a very comforting dish, for sure!

It's not exactly something you see that much, but worth trying if you do! The restaurant in Cambridge is called Helmand.

Thanks Wendy!

Thanks, it's very true, most people tend to think of pumpkin as puree but you can treat it like squash too. This is an easy, tasty way to try!
