Choru (Rice), Thoran
(Veggie stir fried with coconut), Mezhukuperatti (veggie saute'ed/fried in
oil), a non-veg dish and a curry constitutes a typical Kerala meal. Yummy! I
enjoy a lovely Kerala meal anytime of the day. It's simple but there is
something about it that makes you want to eat it again, again and again...! I
actually enjoy making the normal rice and curry. (doesn't sound too exciting, I
know)
I particularly love
veggies and am not a hard core non-vegetarian. I can go all veggie at anytime
but always end up cooking a non-veg dish too because my hubby, "the
foodie" loves non-veg.
This veggie dish is an
all time favourite of mine because I love Kovakka (Ivy Gourd) in any form! And
like we treat most veggies in our cuisine, I sauteed this tasty veggie. It's
safe to say it's universally preferred! The delectable flavours of this dish
comes from the coconut oil, onions and chillies used in it.
Hope you enjoy this
simple dish.
