This looks like Tamales Oaxaquenos, from the state of Oaxaca in Mexico. They look delicious. Pumpkin and cornmeal is a great combination. I will have to make them since I still have a lot of pumpkin waiting to be cooked.

Cheers!

That looks delicious! The combination of pumpkin and cornmeal is a winner, then wrapping and cooking in a bannana leaf adds that something special. Happy Independance Day!

Chennette - I want to try making those next year.

Glamah16 - I too wondered about that and I think that yes, it would work. I know it will definitely add that rich orange colour that is highly desired.
