 Based on the Armenian Musaki with Pumpkin Recipe
Armenian moussaka is different from Greek. There is no tomato sauce or Bechamel in it. The main ingredient in this moussaka is pumpkin. In different countries, it is prepared in different ways, adding or replacing ingredients. I also replaced a bit of the ingredients according to your taste. I cooked according to the book, the recipe "Armenian moussaka with pumpkin".
