Kovakkai (Ivy gourd) poriyal


By Nature Kitchen (Visit website)




I  rarely cook this tiny little kovakkai poriyal.  SP & I like to have this with sambar rice & rasam sadham.  I make it very simple with just few ingredients yet it taste delicious.  Addition of tomato is optional & this time I just added 1/2 smashed tomato at the end.  It taste simply awesome !!

Ingredients :
Kovakkai (Ivy gourd) - 300 gms
Oil - 1 tbsp
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Urad dal - 1 tsp
Curry leaves - 1 tbsp
Vadagam - 1 tsp
Onion - 1 no
Tomato - 1/2 no (optional)
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Chilly powder - 1 tsp
Corriander powder - 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Direction to cook :

1.   Cut the kovakkai & keep aside.

2.   Heat oil in the pan, temper the mustard seeds, urad dal, curry leaves & vadagam.

3.   Add the finely chopped onion & saute till golden brown in color. 

4.   Add turmeric powder, salt, chilly powder & kovakkai.  Cover & cook till tender.

5.   Finally, smash the tomato & add it to the poriyal.  Cook for further 4 more mins. 


Serve with rice.
