Kovakkai Poriyal | Ivy gourd Recipe is a delicious and nutritious dish. I used only ground masala in this recipe. To make it simpler, we can also substitute it with just chilli and coriander powders. The ivy gourd is one of the nutrient-dense vegetables that is abundant in vitamins and calcium. It’s good for diabetic, jaundice and asthma.
