BM #18 Day 2
Parwal also called Potol or pointed gourd is a vegetable which is quite popular in the North.It is used to make savory as well as sweet dishes.The taste is similar to the other veggies of the gourd family , somehow for many years I did not taste this veggie. With blogging ,I wanted to experiment with it and now this is one of the many recipes that I have tried with parwal.
250gms……… parwal
2tbsp ………….moong daal flour /chick pea flour
2tbsp ………….moong daal flour /chick pea flour
1/4 tsp……….. red chilly pwd
1/4 tsp……….. garam masala
1/4 tsp……….. turmeric pwd
1/4 tsp ………..dry mango pwd
Salt to taste
2tsp……………oil
Peel the parwals and remove the seeds.
Slit them keeping them intact.
Stuffing
Mix all the dry ingredients and prepare a stuffing.
Fill in the slits.
Heat oil in pan and place the stuffed parwals.
Cover with a lid and cook on slow fire.
If you feel they are sticking to the pan sprinkle some water.
Cook till soft.
Serve garnished with coriander as a side dish .
This goes best with chapatis and parathas.
