[1] It is a sweet pie made of rolled phyllo, similar to strudel, filled with sweetened grated pumpkin pulp and baked in an oven.

Occasionally nutmeg, cinnamon or similar spices may be added, or raisins or grated lemon rinds.

The pumpkins (or squashes) with more intense coloured pulp (richer in carotene) are more appreciated.

So, although little grown in Serbia, some varieties of Cucurbita moschata are suited for this dish.

Bundevara is a typical Serbian dessert which uses phyllo dough, a common ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine.
