Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Wash and cut it into thin strips or julienne. In a pan, heat some oil and add the crushed coriander seeds and the ginger garlic paste. Saute it for a few seconds and then add in the asafoetida and the other ingredients as well. Now add in some chopped onions. After they are translucent or light brown, add in the thinly sliced ivy gourd.

* Step 2

Cover and cook on a low flame for 10-12 minutes. Do not over cook it. It should retain the crunch. It will be done in 15 -18 minutes in all. It will be done very quickly. Stir fry it for a little longer duration if you prefer it to be more crispier.
