Snake Gourd Fry / Pudalangai Varuval
A typical kongunadu snake gourd curry. At villages, where my grand parents were living, they grew up snake gourd plants at their back yards. Every house at least will have some of the regular vegetables grown for their own usages. They freshly pluck the vegetables for their cooking. Atleast, once in a week these king of fry would be cooked. Tastes good with white rice and curd rice.
