Tendli miriyapito (ivy gourd pepper)
Tendli Miriyapito (Ivy Gourd Pepper)
Preparation
-
Wash and drain the gerkins. Remove ends (stalk & bottom) and gently mash each gerkin with a pestle.
-
This is just to ensure that the spices enter the gerkin which would otherwise be bland.
-
You can even slit them halfway, but the pestle is a far easier option.
-
In a pan (or a pressure cooker which is the easiest and time and energy consuming utensil) add the gerkins and all the ingredients mentioned above.
-
Stir and add about 2-3 tablespoons of water. Cover the lid, add the weight (whistle) and cook on high flame.
-
Turn off flame when the first whistle blows off.
-
Allow the weight to loosen, open, stir well to ensure all ingredients have been mixed properly.
-
Serve hot with steaming boiled rice and fish curry (serving suggestion only) .
