PARWAL KI SUKHI SABJI

Potol Bhaja (Parwal ki Sukhi Sabji, Pointed Gourd)

Potol Bhaja (Parwal ki Sukhi Sabji, Pointed Gourd) is a simple crispy sabzi served as a side dish. Parwal is a summer vegetable and is available in many eastern and northern states of India. This humble Parval is very versatile and can be made in various ways. It is used as an ingredient for stew, curry, sweet, or eaten fried. Mawe Ki Parwal is an exotic sweet meat made and relished during festivals.

I have used mustard oil as I love the pungency of it in many of the dry sabjis I cook. This bhaja is not deep fried but pan fried and takes a little longer to cook and turn crispy. If you want to know more about this vegetable then the link is provided here.
