Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil and fry the onion until soft, add the carrots and simmer everything together for 5 minutes.
Add chicken to onion and carrot and cook on medium heat for 20 minutes. When ready, add pilaf spices, salt and stir.
Place the fried mixture and rice in the peeled pumpkin. Stick a whole unpeeled garlic on top. Without stirring anything, pour boiling water over the future pilaf so that the space above the rice is filled by one finger.
Cover the pumpkin with a “lid” and place in the oven for 45-60 minutes at 180°C.
