Last year, my mom gave me an envelope of seeds she received from her friend back in 2013 -- accompanying letter said she had gone on vacation to India and brought these back for me to grow (thanks, Mom ) Her friend identified these as "Pumpkins" and "Indian Sqash" and she said the Indian Squash are big like watermelon but are cooked same way as regular squash. I suspect the gourd seeds are those. But there is one seed in there that wasn't described. It was mahogany colored and originally much rounder, with a white "eye" that I thought was like a Lima or fava bean.
After soaking, it has taken on a more oval shape -- I recognize this behavior as similar to soy bean.
I know, hardly any details to go on at all, but any clue?
