Kovakkai Poriyal / Tindora Fry / Ivygourd sabji

It's been a while since I posted anything here. My FB page is seeing a lot more action with pictures from my weekend breakfast/lunch orders and podis (dry spice powders). If you are keen to see the plates from EthnicPalate, do take a peek :-)
Coming to this recipe, I don't remember tasting ivygourd when I was a kid. After having read about its immense health benefits, I try to include them often in the form of dry sabji and chutney. This South Indian style poriyal goes well with steaming hot rasam rice.
