Ingredients
20 kovakka/Ivy gourd
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1 1/2 tsp crushed chili (or to taste)
Salt
Oil
Directions
Crush each kovakka/ivy gourd in a pestle and mortar .Now mix crushed kovakka/ivy gourd , turmeric powder, salt and leave it for 5-10mins.Shallow fry the kovakka/ivy gourd in oil till it is cooked well and turn to brown color. Add crushed chili and saute for another few mins and switch off the flame. Serve it hot with rice.
Notes :
While crushing makes sure that it is just bursting open and not break.
Add crushed chili only at the final stage of cooking.
You can also add garlic for different flavor but I did not add.
Tender kovakka/ivy gourd tastes better.
