You can try it with parippu/dal.Pumpkin peel takes less time to cook, so add it later when dal is 3/4 cooked.

Hey Seena:
Yesterday I bought 2 pumpkins as part of Halloween. Was wondering what to do with it. Now there isnt any leftovers, I can even use the skin. I guess my DH is getting scared of me. Finding recipes that he can not evn imagine. Wonder what he will tell about Pumpkin Skin. By the way isnt it hard?
Mocha, when you cook, it turns too soft..try the pumpkin erissery and pumpkin pachadi recipes also, so you can finish two pumpkins within two days..:)
Hey mol,
