Cut pumpkin into smaller pieces, steam over high heat for 10 mins. 2. Puree it with water and salt. 3. Mix it with the flour and knead to form a non-sticky and soft dough. 4. Break into 4 equal portions and run it thru the pasta machine till smooth. 5. Then run it thru the small cutter to cut into thin long strips. 6. Deep fry till slightly golden and crispy. 7.
