Pavakka - Tomato curry
Bitter gourd & Tomato Curry  Its been some days that I have posted something in my blog, and visited all your yummy treats. I was busy with things at home and my hubby?s birthday,that?s why I was not able to catch up all your updates. Today I m bringing you a simple but yummy Charu curry. On Fridays catholics are not supposed to eat meat, so being catholics both of us try to practice it . But On Friday nights its very difficult to keep up with this tradition , since its day of outing or dinner nights?so We start our vegan diet on Thursday night till Friday evening ;) On such a Thursday night I was searching my fridge for something to cook and got hold of Bitter guard and Tomato?and saw a bunch of coconut milk cans in my pantry. Navee?s aunt had packed me a big bag of bitter gourd last summer from her garden and it is all still in my fridge. So I thought its high time I should use it. I did the usual mix n match ,the way I do with my dresses and ended up with this Pavakka ? Tomato charu curry. Trust me,this tastes better that what we think it would?? Ingredients:- Pavakka/ Bitter Gourd chopped ? 1 cup Tomato chopped ? 1 Onion chopped ? 1 medium Turmeric powder ? ½ tsp Green chillies chopped ? 1 Ginger ? a small piece Garlic ? 3-4 cloves Thin coconut milk ? 1 ½ cup Salt to taste Oil Curry leaves Dry red chilies How to make Pavakka ? Tomato Charu curry In a bowl put the chopped Pavakka/bitter gourd with 2 cups of water and squeeze the vegetable well and set aside. This would help reduce the bitter taste to some extent. Pound Ginger and garlic in a mortar & pestle, or blender and set aside Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. When they pop up add dry red chilies and stir fry for 30 seconds Now add chopped onion and curry leaves and sauté well for 4-5 minutes and add ginger and garlic, stir fry it for 3 minutes Stir in the Pavakka/Bitter gourd pieces and fry it for 7-8 minutes ,until they start to turn golden. Add the chopped tomatoes , green chilies,turmeric powder and salt. Combine well and add the coconut milk. Cook it covered on a low flame for 5-6 minutes. Uncover it and add a tsp of oil and simmer for a minute Remove from fire and serve warm· Excellent with Rice. Cheers!!!!!
