Hariyali Parwal is a mouth-watering curry of stuffed parwal cooked with coriander-flavoured curds. The stuffing of fennel seeds, onions and spice powders gives the parwal a smashing flavour, which is improved further by the paste of coriander and curds that it is cooked in. Make sure you keep the flame low after adding the curd-paste, else it will curdle. Serve the Hariyali Parwal Curry immediately upon preparation, with your favourite rotis or rice .

Parwal is one of our country’s lesser-known veggies but lends itself well to the cuisine of Western India, where it is generally cooked with an exciting blend of spices.

A unique masala mixture that combines tomatoes, coconut and spices gives this subzi a zesty rush of flavour, which pulls it to the top of the popularity chart. This spicy and tangy subzi is sure to be enjoyed by young and old, even kids! Take care while preparing the parwal. The pointed gourd has seeds, which must be removed. The slices should also be of a medium size, neither too thick nor thin – this will ensure that it gets cooked evenly and absorbs the flavours well.
