#WD - This is a simple and a delicious Baby Marrow curry in a South Indian Style. Marrows are from the Zucchini family. It is a wonder veggie as it has a lot of health benefits. It lowers cholesterol, aids in weight management and is also good for diabetics.

This is a dry preparation where I added some idli podi to the end product for a South Indian flavor. You may also substitute it with sambar or rasam powder. My comfort side dish with chapattis for dinner along with salad and soup for a wholesome meal.
