Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a shallow baking dish.

Coat the pumpkins and their lids lightly with oil, inside and out.
Sprinkle the interiors of each lightly with salt.
Place the pumpkins in the dish and top each with its lid. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until soft and lightly browned. Leave the oven on.
Melt the butter in a small pan over medium-low heat and mix in the brown sugar, cinnamon, red chile, and coriander. Drizzle the mixture inside each of the pumpkins. Replace the lids afterward. Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until very soft but still holding their shape. Serve hot.
