Wonderful use of seasonal pumpkins! Why not include this (or any other of your marvellous cooking-from-scratch recipes) in my food blog competition?

As for credit crunch, hey, it’s boom and bust – the perrenial cycle of capitalism. We need a more sustainable way of doing things…

The speculators on foreign currency (or whatever they are speculating on) should at least be taxed. Google the Tobin Tax for more info, or check out http://www.waronwant.org/?lid=2

Well, I have to agree with you that butter is a mood-lifter. They should prescribe it instead of Prozac!

Thanks guys! Butternut squash or sweet potatoes work well as alternatives to the pumpkin.

Cooking the books – the ghee isn’t essential but it really works wonders here to enhance the richness. You could try butter too. Only allowed because of the despair involved…

Any suggestions for substitutions for the pumpkin? It is a bit hard to find out of season (and even in season!) around my area.

This seems delectable and I too have been casting longing glances at the pumpkins in the market this season!

The recipe calls for ghee — could you leave it out or is it necessary for the flavor? (I’m assuming yes, since you were specific.)

Thanks so much for stopping my blog! I hope you’ll have a chance to try the dry-pan eggplant method. In the meantime, I’ll post back the next time I make another of your recipes (which will be soon!).
