As my kitchen is not completely ready and I haven't cooked anything interesting for the last couple of weeks, I am simply posting dishes that I had cooked and clicked some time back. Hopefully, my kitchen should be done soon, before I run out of posts. I had made this Kovakkai And Carrot curry, months back, as a side dish to go with moru kuzhambu and rice. Whenever I cooked kovakkai/tindora/dondakaya/ivy-gourd, I usually sauteed them well along with onions and spices, this time I had only about 20 small kovakkais, so I cooked them along with a couple of carrots and a spicy onion paste. This curry goes well with both rice and rotis, serve it along with a dal/lentils for a complete balanced meal..
Need To Have
- Kovakkai/Tindora/Dondakaya/Ivy Gourd - 20, sliced into 4
- Carrots - 2, sliced into thin strips
- Mustard Seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
- Curry Leaves - 10
- Salt to taste
To Make A Paste
- Onion - 1 small
- Fennel Seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
- Red Chilly Powder - 1 teaspoon
- Turmeric Powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Method
Grind together all the ingredients given under ' to grind ' into a smooth paste.
Heat some oil, add the mustard seeds, when it starts spluttering, add the sliced tindora/kovakkai, saute it for 6 to 7 minutes.

Then add the carrots, paste and salt, mix it well, add about 1/4 cup water, cover and cook on low heat till the vegetables are cooked completely. Now add the curry leaves, add some oil around the edges and keep sauteing for another 5 to 7 mins, then remove and serve.
Note
You can add some grated coconut at the end, before removing, or grind 2 tablespoons of coconut along with the rest of the ingredients for the paste.
