This vegetable curry dish is often served over rice or with coo-coo, the Caribbean rendition of soft polenta. Calabaza, also called West Indian pumpkin, has a brilliant orange, firm, sweet flesh, much like acorn or butternut squash.

I personally loved this!! Very tasty! Served over white basmati rice. It was excellent!! Only thing is my husband said "Dinner with no meat??" So I guess I won't be making it on its own again ;)

A good recipe, but not great. Used hot curry powder to give it a kick, and added 1/8 tsp. ground fennel seed. Served over brown rice and cooked an additional 15 minutes at the end. It was not bland, but just had no distinctive or memorable flavor.

I made this using sweet potatoes rather than the squash, and served over rice. It was not as flavorful as I had expected. It wasn't spicy at all - so we added some hot sauce. It was a decent and enjoyable meal, but not a keeper in my book.
