Kovakka or Tindora is also known as the Ivy gourd. There are a number of ways to make this vegetable, but today I am sharing a very easy method of kovakka fry.

It is rich in minerals and B complex vitamins.




Ingredients:

Preparation Method:

1. Wash Kovakka and cut into long slender pieces.
2. Make a paste of sambar powder and salt. Marinate kovakka with this paste.
3. Now heat oil in a pan and deep fry.
4. Serve with hot rice as a side dish. Enjoy!
