Summer summer...
Hooh Haah
Pit Pat with sweat
I am bored with summer this year. Though I have no leave from kitchen. Its like a resort. Even in hot of oven. Summer is for bottle Gourd and Pointed gourd. Now in days of globalization though we get every vegetable all over year, still there is some special in mind always that this one is of summer, this one is for winter.
Every other day now I cook Potol for us. Lets share quickly potol posto with rice . Make it and serve it with love.What You Need
Potol/Pointed gourd/Parwal – 8 pieces large
Turmeric Powder ~ ½ tsp
Green Chillies ~ 8 cut in slits
1/4 cup of posto aka poppy seeds
1/2 tsp of Kalo Jeera/Kalonji
Salt
Oil
How I Did It
Peel off Potol/Pointed gourd/Parwal and chop each potol in 4 along the length.
Paste Poppy seed with little water, little salt, 1 green chilli.
Heat Oil in a Kadai/ frying pan.
Add some kaloni/ Kalo Jeera.
Add the chopped Parwal Add about 1/2 tsp of turmeric powder and mix well . Add salt to taste. Add 4 of green chili slit through. Fry the potol till they develop brown . let it cook with some quick stirs in between. When the Potol is almost done add posto bata/ poppy seed paste. Mix well and let it cook together. Give sprinkle of water. Its just by your measure, choice of gravy in curry.
Check and adjust for salt. Add about 1/2 tsp of sugar.Mix well.
DO not cook for long time after adding Poppy seed paste, it will loose its flavor.
