When I saw a small red pumpkin in farmer’s market, it reminded me of my childhood. My gradma (aajji) used to make gharage (घारगे) and dhapate (धपाटे). I used to love eating gharage after coming home from school. ‘Gharga’ is a sweet pumpkin puri and of couse a deep fried puri. Dhapata on the other hand, is a savory version and it’s not deep fried, so it’s more like a paratha or thepla.
It must be healthy as there is nothing unhealthy – either ingredients or the process. Give it a shot.

U think we could use the orange pumpkins we get in US during fall?
Hi Kavita, I am also based in US and I use the same orange pumpkin you are talking about.
I asked the farmer (at farmer’s market) to cut it for me, otherwise it’s very hard with our normal knives.
Can you suggest various simple,quick & testy Indian receipes for brkfst & lunch also
Tried this recipe today and enjoyed a lot. Thanks for sharing recipe.
