Kovakka Mezhukkupuratti ||Tindora/Ivy Gourd Stir Fry

Kovakka is popular in most part of Kerala, Tamilnadu, Karnataka and other states in India. The botanical name of Kovakka is Coccinia Indica.  It's medicinal properties has been published in many journals. It's known to reduce the blood sugar levels. Crisp, light and very subtly spiced, perfect for a gloomy waiting-for-the-rains day! My favorite, easy to make and stupendously good with side dish!
