Vegetable Snake gourd tastes bland itself, so to make it spicier
I usually add coconut grated
and green chilies paste in the end to enhance the flavor and spiciness to the
sabzi. But, in this version I tweaked a little bit and added onion and tomato and smeared Idli Moloaga podi
or Gun Powder in the end. It tastes amazingly good.
Nicely wash the snake
gourd and scrap and discard the inner white portion and chop them into fine pieces
Take a microwave safe bowl add chana dal and cook for 8
minutes or till dal half tender or Heat a pan with 2 cups of water once it
starts to boil add chana dal and cook the dal half tender (which ever option you
prefer to use)
Add chopped snake gourd pieces in the same microwave bowl
or pan and cook again for 10 minutes and check dal and vegetable cooked nice
and tender (don’t cook them in to mushy texture)
Heat a pan with 1 tbsp of oil add cumin seeds and red chili and allow them to crackle and then add curry
leaves and onion and fry till it turns to golden color then add the chopped
tomato pieces and fry for a minute. Add turmeric powder and salt.
