Pumpkin Pilau & Kaddu ka Halwa

Enjoy Bunyaad Marketplaceā€™s online cooking time where we make this festive main dish, Holiday Pumpkin Pilau.

Born in Lahore, Pakistan, Yousaf leads us in making this classic rice dish perfect as a center of your holiday table. Made with or without meat, this dish marries pumpkin, raisins, garbanzo beans & cashews (optional) to make a truly unique Pakistani dish. Easily made for all diets around your holiday table, including carnivores, gluten-free & vegans alike!

As a special addition, Yousaf demonstrates a second Punjabi pumpkin side dish that his grandma used to make in her Darianwala village home, savory Kaddu ka Halwa. This dish is ideal for eating with the Pumpkin Pilau or as a stand-alone side dish or with naan.
