kaddu is yellow with green stripes on the outside and yeloowish/greenish from inside…while butternut squash is yellow on the outside as well as on the inside. they belong to the same family but are different varieties.

this is kaddu:

Oh NO! do NOT peel the skin...ther hard texture gives a good bite...it's best with the skin ON...unless you are making a puree :)

Re: Is Butternut squash kaddu?

use bigger cubes and then when it’s tender, mesh it a lil so the pulp part gets a bit less chunky…skin must be in bigger pieces which gives a pleasant feel when u eat it…one more thing…don’t forget to use cumin seeds [safed zeera] :slight_smile:

Re: Is Butternut squash kaddu?

i am sorry, wasnt able to reply earlier...to make stew..heat some oil, add ginger garlic paste, chopped onion, saute for fewminutes, add chopped carrots, bell pepper, butternut squash, meat cut in cubes, sautee for fewmore mins, add tomato paste, salt, pepper, herbs like oregano, thyme, cinnamon, cumin, red pepper. stir, add water and let it cook. i would either cook it in pressure cooker or owen.

sometimes, i like rosting squash it....cut in halves ir qaters, sprinkle oilve oil, some herbs like oregano, basil, thyme, cinnamon powder, cumin powder, little salt and blk pepper. bake at 400F for atleast an hour, peel the skin, cut into cubes, and theen to some stir fry vegetables, mashed squash, soup, or make a curry. roasting it gives it a really nice flavor.
