Another GSB recipe of Ash gourd. Mainly Kuvaale sasam is prepared at the time of temple festivals or wedding. Also this special dish is prepared in most of the GSB homes on Subramanya Shristi Day. It is not spicy and loved by children. Recently we had religious function at home and this particular dish was one of the items in our menu. Here is the recipe, a very simple, yet tasty and I loved juicy kuvaale pieces (phodos) in it.
WHAT YOU NEED:
Ash gourd /Kuvaale - 2 cups, cut in big cubes
Coconut - 2 big handfuls, grated
Dried red chilly - 3, roasted in little oil
Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp + 1/2 tsp
Tamarind - a small piece
Curry leaves - 2 sprigs
Salt - to taste
HOW TO MAKE:
Grind grated coconut, roasted red chillies, tamarind and 1/2 tsp mustard seeds along with little water to a fine paste.
Cook Ash gourd pieces and 1 sprig curry leaves with enough water till tender.
Add ground masala to it and add required water and salt.
Allow it to boil on medium heat.
Heat a small pan with little oil.
Splutter mustard seeds, then add curry leaves. Saute.
Pour the seasoning over hot Kuvaale Sasam.
Serve hot Ash gourd / Kuvale Sasam as a side dish or with steaming rice.
