Hello, friends, and community greetings. After seeing the post from dear friend carolynstahl@carolynstahl stuffed-peppers-and-zuchin# recipe I remember during my travel to India. I made something similar but my Indian style. Using snake gourd. I was looking for those photos for a long time and finally, I found them and am happy to share my recipe here in the community.
In India where we live that place, locals grow their vegetables in the garden and they have their local vegetables. After a long time saw the snake gourd and I bought some of them. One recipe I already posted a long time ago #plantpower(vegan) community.
This is a very simple non-fried, healthy, and delicious recipe I knew from a young age.
Ingredients:
