Tinda/Kovakkai Dry Curry


By http://samayalarai-cookingisdivine.blogspot.com (Visit website)



I made this curry very long back when I was in India, my husband wanted me to try this andit actually came out well, as I remember but forgot how I did it?  after that I had never thought of buying, not everybody would like in the house, particularly people who are not used to it!, and would never try anything new!, so that's it I never thought of making it,  after coming to UK i had not thought of buying it, and the other day I bought this vegetable just thought let me try again!, and to my surprise I saw Raks kitchen had posted a dry curry out of this!, Of course, I know the photos from her blog are always mind blowing, they were just making you drool over them!, well, As she was saying not Mom or MIL never used this! ditto nobody used it in both of my houses,  In the same way In our houses nobody used Bottle Gourd either, Only I have started using them, and I do not why? my photo isn't so good as hers is, but the curry tasted very nice, I did it in a different way, but I have some more again and want to try her method .
