My mom from Malnad makes a lot of thumblis and sippe chutneys ! Your blog reminds me a lot of her cooking and one of the reasons why I come back again and again. I am making this on this weekend. I have a standard ripe pumpkin, that should suffice right?

@Navya,

Thanks for the lovely comment..:)
Chutney will not taste good if the pumpkin is well ripened and the skin is very hard.
