Lajawab turai (sponge gourd) This recipe I have learnt from one of my friend during her live cooking show. Really it was very tasty and I want to share with you.
Dry roast coriander seeds, ground nuts, dry coconut, curry leaves. Then make a green paste with all these along with coriander leaves and green chillies.
Make a paste with onion and tomato then keep aside.
Remove the skin of turai then make in cubic pieces. Marinate with turmeric powder, chilli powder, gram flour and salt. Keep for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes tawa fry the marinated sponge gourd with little mustard oil.
Take a pan add mustard oil, cumin seeds. After then add tomato onion paste stir for a few minutes
Add green paste again stir, masala will leave the pan. Add the shallow fried sponge gourd. Mix all together and cover with lid.
After 5 - 7 minutes open the lid and see how it is done. Serve with rice or chapati.
