Ash gourd has many health benefits like detoxing. Here I'm sharing a simple healthy recipe with Ash gourd in Kerala style.
- 3 cups Chopped ash gourd
- 1 cup Chopped shallots
- 1 cup Scraped coconut (preferrably fresh)
- 2 Green chilies
- 2 sprigs Curry leaves
- to taste Salt
- 1 tbsp Coconut oil
Mix all ingredients well.
Keep it aside for 10 minutes.
Cook in low flame with lid on till almost cooked.
Open the pan and stir fry till water content evaporates completely in medium to high flame.
Switch off the flame and add coconut oil and keep covered for 5 minutes at least.
Coconut oil
