” Kismmuris ” are the dry curries usually prepared with any vegetables shallow fried mixed with spices and grated coconut and raw onion. Its a great side dish with rice and dal. I have prepared the kismmuri with beans and also the hit one with bitter gourd. But kismmuri with ivy gourd was totally new to me when I tasted it at my uncle’s home last month. I noted the recipe at once and was sure that this would be the first recipe I would be trying as soon as I reach back home after my vacation . …So here goes a fantastic recipe with the humble ivygourd…..|

Note;-
1. You can also use the ripe tendles in the kissmuri ..
2. In case you are using the ripe ones,adjust the measurement of tamarind as the ripe ones will give the required tangyness..
3. If you want instead of shallow frying ,you can deep fry the thendles .and then mix it with powdered coconut after heating little oil in a separate pan.
