Poster's Notes:
From my own collection "From my mother with love and more." This recipe came from my mother, she came from Kishenev Moldavia.
We eat the Kabak warm to hot with our main dishes, but my father prefers to eat it after dinner. We do not call it dessert. The Knish Kabak which is made with French dough (puff pastry) or phyllo, and baked. We eat it again warm to hot with coffee or tea.
KABAK is in Yiddish for Pumpkins. It came from the Russian name Tekva.
