Potol or Parwal is one of my favorite vegetables. My Late Mom would make a recipe where she would make a paste of Potol with shrimps, chilies, poppy seeds. Cook on a low flame in oil and make a mash after cooling. I still remember the aroma that the recipe had and one can eat either on its own or with steamed rice.
