Kovaikai poriyal

| Ivygourd |
Ivygourd referred as kovaikkai in Tamil, tindori in Hindi, Coccinia indica as its biological name has immense health benefits. It is considered to be a natural remedy for diabetes as it controls certain enzymes that involves sugar production. It has its own place in Ayurveda also.
Ivygourd with its unique taste is cooked in various ways as curry, gravy, and in puli kulambu. Here I give a simple recipe with Ivygourd.
