It sounds like you’re looking for a recipe for “Kadu,” which generally refers to pumpkin or squash in both Afghan and Pakistani cuisine. Here are a couple of popular ways to prepare it:
1. Afghani Kadu Borani (Sweet and Savory Pumpkin with Yogurt Sauce)
This dish offers a delightful combination of sweet pumpkin and a tangy garlic yogurt sauce. Here’s a general idea of how it’s made:
Ingredients:
* Pumpkin or butternut squash, peeled and cubed
* Onions, chopped
* Garlic, minced or paste
* Tomatoes, chopped (sometimes used)
* Oil
* Turmeric powder
* Cumin powder
* Coriander powder
* Sugar (or honey)

* Garlic, minced (for the sauce)
* Fresh mint or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
* Optional: Red pepper flakes or green chilies for heat
Instructions (General Steps):

* Make the Base: In the same pan, sauté onions until golden brown. Add garlic and spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Some variations include tomatoes and tomato paste. Add water or broth and simmer.
* Combine Pumpkin and Base: Add the sautéed pumpkin to the onion-spice mixture. Add sugar (or honey) and salt. Cover and cook until the pumpkin is tender.
* Prepare the Yogurt Sauce: Mix plain yogurt with minced garlic, salt, and sometimes dried mint or dill.
* Assemble and Serve: On a serving plate, spread some of the yogurt sauce. Arrange the cooked pumpkin on top and drizzle with more yogurt sauce. Garnish with fresh mint or cilantro, and optionally a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Serve warm, often with naan or pita bread.
