Pumpkin Soup

This is my Anjang Rakayah's recipe (my auntie). First learned about it during my summer holiday in Malaysia when I visited her in Lundu, a small town about 2 hours ride from Kuching. I was pleasantly surprised to learn something from that visit. Thanks Anjang!

This is the second time I made this soup during Ramadhan month. I like the gravy, smooth, thick, there's the sweetness of the pumpkin, aroma from the chicken - an exotic combination! Try it!

Honestly, it should not be this color, it should be more orangy - just like a pumpkin's color. Maybe its the pumpkin here in Abu Dhabi that's different. Doesnt taste as sweet too. I'll use the Indian Pumpkin next time. But if you're in Malaysia - the shade (if you are particular about it) and the sweetness will turn out just fine!
