💡 पेशेवर सुझाव
- ✓Ensure pumpkin leaves are washed very thoroughly to remove any soil.
- ✓If you can't find pounded groundnuts, you can use smooth peanut butter, but adjust the consistency with water.
- ✓The bicarbonate of soda is optional but helps to tenderize the leaves and reduce their natural sliminess.
