Pudalangai / Snake Gourd Poriyal
This is a simple side dish which goes well with rice. This has been lying in my draft folder for a long time. I thought of posting it today. I usually add grated coconut to all the poriyal dishes. This habit came from my mom. When I was attending yoga classes my teacher told me that coconut when cooked gives a lot of calories to the food. But when it is taken raw the calorie count is lesser. So she advised me to add coconut after switching off the flame and to transfer the dish immediately to a serving bowl. So from that day I follow her advice. Hope this will be useful for you also.
snake gourd with cabbage, looks like an interesting combination.
