Welcome back to my blog hive family. Hope are in a good health. I went kolkata in Durga Puja for a week. My inlaws are staying there in kolkata. After a long time I went in Durga Puja there.
In kolkata we will get fresh and farm vegetables in market which is very rare in Bengaluru. And in Bengaluru, the rate will be double.
There I saw kankoda ( spiny gourd ) in the market.
Spiny gourd is very beneficial and has vitamins A, C and calcium. My father loves to eat this vegetable alot. In hindi we call it Kantola or kankoda.
So today I am sharing the recipe of Spiny gourd!
**INGREDIENTS **
Spiny gourd- ½kg
Oil-2 tbspn
Cumin seeds-½tbspn

Then add redchili powder and coriander powder.

It is really a very flavourful dish and I am sure that you will gonna love the taste and texture.
