KOVAKKA ULARTHIYATHU (Tindora / Ivy Gourd Sabzi) - Its a Keeper

 
Kovakka / Tindora is the only vegetable that I don't like. Sometimes I make thoran with it, as its my husband's favorite. When i tasted this dish from my friend's place, I was sure that this is something i should share in "Lemon n Spice", as it was a twist to normal Kovakka / Ivy Gourd dishes. Thanks for the recipe Sowmya Vineeth :)
