Peel the outer skin of Vazhakkai. Cut into thick pieces.Soak in water & wash it well in order to remove the stickiness from it.

Parboil the Vazhakkai & drain the water. Keep aside.

First grind Coconut,Dry red chilly to a fine paste. Then add Jeera,Onion and grind it roughly.

In a kadai heat oil & add sliced Onion,Ginger garlic paste (Optional)and fry it well.
