First, clean the pumpkins and peel the skin. Then cut the pumpkins into half and remove the seeds. Save the seeds as these are very healthy. Grate the pumpkin and use it.I used the grating mixer to grate the pumpkins, one can use the grater or the blend the pumpkin if it is hard to grate with hand.

Later put the pumpkin removed seeds with pulp into the water and leave for 10 minutes. Then removes all the seeds and dry the seeds under the sun and can use. The pumpkin seeds are typically flat and asymmetrically oval have a white outer husk, and are light green in color after removing the husk when dried.



In my recipe, I used coconut milk. For this, I used one whole coconut, break and cut the coconut into small pieces. Then soak the chopped coconut in hot water for about 10 minutes which is optional. This process gives more coconut milk. Then strain the milk and used it. I used dry fruits of type cashew, almonds, melon seeds and raisins. One can also include walnuts, pistachio, etc.

Finally, I want to highlight some of my sweet recipes like,
