    Kovakkai Kondakadalai Poriyal

    Kovakkai/Ivygourd/tindora is a healthy veggie and will be in our menu at least once in two weeks. I usually make this simple kovakkai poriyal. This kovakkai kondakadalai poriyal is more healthy with the addition of kondakadalai/black channa/chickpea. It is very simple to make, tastes so good and definitely a keeper recipe.

    This poriyal recipe is apt for diabetic patients as the kovakkai & black channa are known to control the blood sugar and also there is no coconut added.

    Let's check how to make this healthy kovakkai kondakadalai poriyal.
