Thank you for your extraordinary Indian recipes! I made your Spicy Squash tonight and it was delectable ! Could I substitute chunked pineapple instead of the mango powder and sugar? I look forward to making more of you fabulous recipes.
Ciao from Sicily.

I wanted to thank you so much for your recipes! I don’t know what I would do without your site. I’m American and my husband is from Gujarat, India. When I married him I did know how to cook, but I was taught how to cook with meat, so my dishes where limited. Thanks to your site, I know what to cook for him Thanks so much! This one was one of my Favorites.

This is a delicious recipe, I have cooked it several times.

In the recipe list it mentions lemon juice, and its shown in the recipe but it isn’t in the description. As thats what I actually cook it from, you may want to add it.

keep up the fantastic work!

What sorts of squash can be used? Are acorn or butternut acceptable?(not sure if Kaddu is available in all seasons at neighborhood Indian stores, or what its local name is).
thanks

Hi Marcus – I can’t say what it would have tasted like using fresh mango in this dish but if it worked out ok and you liked it then that’s all that matters. Sometimes substituting can give you good results.
However, mango powder or “amchur” powder is used to give “tang” to a recipe and it’s got a sour / tangy quality to it. A tablespoon is a fair amount in the recipe so if you can find it sometime, definitely try it. Amchur and lemon as used together in this recipe – will give it a slightly sour / tangy quality. I hope that this helps!

Hey,
I made this last night but I didn’t have any Mango Powder – I substituted some actual fresh mango, it wasn’t near ripened but hard so good for cooking. It tasted great with this curry.

I’m just wondering what mango powder actually tastes like and if by using fresh mangos I got a similar flavour? either way, tasty tasty!

cheers!
