‘Kundri’ or ivy gourd is one vegetable that I hate most. But few days back Maa prepared this simple ‘bhaji’ or stir fry and served with handmade roti in breakfast. It was wonderful! The flavour of curry patta with mustard seeds gives very nice flavour to this ‘bhaji’. You can serve sprinkling some grated coconut on it with roti or paratha or simple stir fry like this as a side dish with steamed rice and dal.
Ingredients
- 200 gms Kundri or Ivy Gourd
- ½ Mustard Seed – tspp

Steps:
