I only knew to make pumpkin curry like the one my mother prepares( i mentioned in this link.)  This recipe I got from Tarla Dalal’s website.

For The gravy,
Pumpkin – 1/2 cup peeled and chopped into chunks
tomatoes – 1 medium
refined oil – 2 tsp
onions – 1/2 portion very finely chopped

skimmed yogurt – 2 tbsp whisked
Frozen green peas – 3 tbsp
potatoes – 1/4 cup boiled and peeled

1. Remove the crust from the bread slices.
2. Soak the bread in the curds for 20 minutes.
3. Crumble the bread and add the coriander leaves, green chillies and salt and mix well.
4. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into balls. Steam in a steamer for 10 minutes and keep aside.
