Podalangai Curry

Also called Snake Gourd, the narrow, soft-skinned fruit can reach 150 cm long. Its soft, bland, somewhat mucilaginous flesh is similar to that of the luffa and the calabash. It is most popular in the cuisine of South Asia and Southeast Asia. The shoots, tendrils, and leaves are also eaten as greens.

Ingredients:
2 Podalangai
¼ cup Moong dal soaked
½ cup Coconut grated
