In my place, we used to do with pumpkin. But u tried with yam. Different. Ma interrogated why trying with yam & who suggested.. I said its aarthi as if she is my neighbour...

Hey Aarthi - are the cowpeas dried or fresh? they look brown in your picture so i assume dried but just wanted to make sure
thanks!
