I like this better than plain kovakka thoran or the thoran with shrimps I had blogged earlier. With the coconut oil coating, kovakka gets a new taste.
Wash the kovakka (Ivy gourd) thoroughly in running water, cut off both the tips. Cut into thin lengthy strips. Make sure the pieces are very thin so you don’t need to pre cook them before making mezhukupuratti.
For 3 cups,
Small onion – 1 cup thinly diced
One sprig of curry leaves
5 green chilies
Heat 2 tablespoon of coconut oil, for mezhukkupuratti we usually use a little bit more oil.
Splutter one tsp mustard seeds in low heat, add one dry red chili split, add curry leaves, then add shallots and diced green chilies and sauté well. Add kovakka pieces and mix well with 1.2 tsp turmeric powder and enough salt. Stir until the vegetable gets a nice coating and then in cook covered in low heat stirring occasionally.
Serve with rice or roti.

My favorite too!! I like it cut into thin strips like this than the round ones. More time consuming but way tastier.
A friend made this veggie, cut in similar thin strips, of course a different recipe but I liked it

hmmmm my favourite mezhukkuVaratti. (for me its not mezhekkuPuratti , but, Varatti)
like raj neetiyath said, cut as round not so thick pieces and uses a little more oil to fry the crushed shallots and green chilly in a big open frying pan , add kovakka n salt and cook at low flame.ithanu ente sthiram paripadi.

is simply superb.thanks. :)
hey, this is exactly how i make it!!round cuts take forever, don't they. I add garlic sometimes too.
I love to cut it this way, Inji! Looks fantastic! :)
I also cook it like this only, sometimes include thin strips of potato also.
You have a very good blog with authentic recipes. I think keralites would be able to appreciate more.
Guess what was my lunch today..kovakkai exactly like this, ISG's egg masala and dal with rice. I have to try with g.chilly next time.
I too prepare it the same way except I don't add green chillies. I like both thoran and mezhukkupuratti. good posting.
Wish you and your family a very happy vishu.
Rg.
Looks good!
I just posted about parwal and I must say that both these vegetables are either loved or hated!! I like this veggie but dont like it cut into rounds - prefer cutting them lengthwise....go figure!
