Pavakka (bitter gourd) kichadi can be made with fresh pavakka or pavakka kondattam. I have used "Grandma's Pavakka kondattam" in this recipe.
INGREDIENTS
1. Pavakka kondattam - 12-15
2. Grated coconut - 1/4 cup
3. Curd - 1/4 cup
4. Green chilli - 1
5. Cumin seeds - 1 pinch
6. Mustard seeds - 1/4 tea spoon + 1 pinch
7. Coconut oil - 2 table spoon
8. Red chilli - 1 (break into 3 )
9. Curry leaves - 1 sprig
10. Fenugreek seeds - 1/4 tea spoon
METHOD
1. Grind the coconut to a fine paste with cumin seeds and green chilli. Crush a pinch of mustard seeds and add to the paste.
2. Fry the kondattam in coconut oil. Keep only 1 table spoon oil in the pan and discard the rest.
3. Heat the pan and splutter mustard seeds. Add fenugreek seeds, red chilli pieces and curry leaves and fry. Switch off stove and add the coconut paste. Stir well.
4. Add curd and salt and mix well.
