Pumpkin is a common ingredient in Thai cooking. Pie pumpkins are not always available in grocery stores throughout the year, but butternut squash makes a great alternative. Add another chili pepper if you like heat. For colour and added texture, sprinkle with sliced red chili pepper just before serving.
