  1. Hi, is there any reason to put a heavy weight on the pieces and, also why shd we tie those pieces in the cloth? does this process bring more taste to the dish.

  2. Hi, if you tie the pieces in a cloth and put a heavy weight on that, the excess water present in the pumpkin will be lost. when you prepare the batter by mixing the urad dal paste, if the batter is watery you cannot make the dish properly. so it shd be thick enough to make easily.
