Ivy gourd Fry

Hello Foodies, Today I am posting one of the classic, crispy, mildly flavored vegetarian dishes that are usually found in almost all marriage functions i.e." ivy gourd fry". Fried Dondakaya(Ivygourd), and flavored spices make you irresistible. I usually add dry coconut powder for extra flavour and taste. This dondakaya (Ivy gourd) fry curry is very special in Andhra thali. Let us see the ingredients and procedure.

Ingredients :
Dondakayalu /Ivygourds :         1/4 kg
Mustard seeds:          1 teaspoon
Bengal gram:           1 tablespoon
Black gram:           1 tablespoon
Dry Red chili:           1 or 2
Karivepaku/Curry leaves:           few
Dry Coconut powder:          1-2 tablespoons
Oil:         2 tablespoons
Turmeric powder:            pinch
Salt:            to taste
Red Chilli Powder:          1 tablespoon
Oil for deep frying

Procedure :
1. Wash dondakayalu/Ivygourds, nip the tip and tail ends. Slice each into 4 lengthwise and keep aside.
2. Heat oil in a vessel for deep frying, once hot, place the ivy gourd pieces and deep fry till golden color. Drain the fried Ivygourd pieces from oil and keep them aside.
3. Take a pan, add 2 tablespoons of oil, add Bengal gram, black gram, mustard seeds, red chillies, curry leaves, let them splutter, a nice aroma comes out once it gets fried. Now add deep fried ivy gourd pieces.
5. Now add salt, turmeric, dry coconut powder, red chilli powder, saute them for a few minutes.
6. Always cook this dish on medium flame only!! Transfer it into a serving bowl.
7. Serve hot with steamed white rice and Sambhar and ghee.
