Curry Leaves                - few
Oil                                 - 2 tbsp

Procedure:

  • Wash and chop Kovakkai. You can chop into the shape you desire. I always cut them round. Chop small onions finely. Slit green chili.
  • Heat oil in a pan. Add Mustard seeds, Fennel seeds and dry red chili. When they splutter add chopped onions, Green chili and curry leaves.
  • When the onions turn translucent, add Ginger- Garlic paste. Saute till raw flavor goes off.
  • After that add chopped Kovakkai and cover with a lid .
  • When the kovakkai is half cooked, add salt, turmeric powder and pepper powder.
  • Saute in between. You can also spray some water in between. This will help the vegetable to cook fast.
  • When its cooked fully add Fried gram flour and give the varuval a full stir. Switch off the flame.. Your Tindora pepper fry is ready!!!
