Sphagetti squash is also popular in Eastern India, a version of it is called “chalkumro” (“rice pumpkin”/“pumpkin rice” - literal translation) perhaps because of its flaky and string like pulp, that produces “sphagetti” or long “rice like” threads. Interesting, I never tried it here. Will get one next time and try to scoop out the spaghettis. How do you cook it?
