Hello Nishaji, I love your recipes and your way of presentation. You are so polite and king. All the recipes turned out very good when we follow your steps and measurements. Thank a lot for doing such a great work. Now my question, do we have to peel the magaz seeds or we have to take it with the skin on. Peeling out skin takes too long. Do you have any idea to do that faster ? Thanks in advance. Keep cooking and sharing your passion with us. Which inspires us too. Regards Anagha
