It's a round light green squash. Google has some pictures of it.

Oh, that's the one I've been growing in my garden! We call it out this way something like 'tinsi' 'tinsari' - I first thought this was to do with 'cold' but that's spelt in English 'thanda' I think.
I think it's a pain in the neck type of veggie - simply because you have to cut it up a lot and I take out all those big seeds, and you're left with so little after this is done. It's a lot of work preparing it - so for that reason locki is better value and has the same taste. In other words, tasteless. Because this is what both are like, so you need lots of other stuff to make some taste - spices, garlic, onions etc.
Good recipe already here thanks to Gametotravel. It's really just a bulking up your dish kind of vegetable and I agree with Shashank, except I don't really 'hate' it - just think it's an annoying one to use!

Since it belongs to pumpkin family I will have more respect for it the next time I eat it. But sweetish pumpkin made the right way surely is a tasty dish!

This is not sweet - it's more like a white marrow type of thing. Nothing like sweet pumpkin.
