• 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.
