Ingredients (1 cup = 240 ml) 

US Customary - Metric

For the Stuffing

  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 1 broken dry red chili deseeded
  • 3 tablespoon besan/chickpea flour
  • 4 tablespoon crushed peanuts
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder/haldi
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder/dhania powder
  • 1 teaspoon jeera/cumin powder
  • ½ teaspoon garam masala powder
  • ¼ teaspoon red chilli powder
  • ½ teaspoon powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon amchur/dry mango powder
  • salt to taste
  • small bunch of coriander leaves chopped

Other Ingredients

  • 250 grams parwal/pointed gourd
  • 3 tablespoon oil
  • 1 broken dry red chili deseeded
  • ¼ teaspoon mustard seeds/rai
  • ½ tsp cumin seeds/jeera
  • 1 green chilli cut into 2 pieces or finely chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon asafoetida/hing
  • 2 tablespoons water for sprinkling

For the Garnish

  • small bunch of coriander leaves chopped

Instructions
 

  • Wash and peel parwal. Remove stalk from both ends and make a slit in centre lengthwise. Do not cut the whole parwal.
  • With help of a small or scooper, scoop out the seeds from them. Set them aside.

For the Stuffing

  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a non-stick pan. Add dry red chiili and besan. Saute for a minute on low to medium flame.
  • Then add crushed peanuts (peanut powder) and saute for 2-3 minutes.
  • Now add all the spice powders one by one - dhaniya powder, jeera powder, garam masala powder, red chilli powder, turmeric powder and salt. Saute for 1-2 minutes. Keep on stirring continuously.
  • Remove from flame and allow to cool.
  • Once cooled, add amchur powder, powdered sugar and chopped coriander leaves.
  • Stuffing is ready. Set aside.

Preparing Sabzi

  • Fill the slit parwals with the prepared stuffing.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a non-stick pan. Add dry red chilli and mustard seeds. Once seeds crackle, add jeera. When it crackles, add green chilli and hing.
  • Reduce the flame, stir and immediately place the stuffed parwals in the pan and lightly toss the pan so that parwals are coated with oil.
  • Sprinkle around 2 tablespoons water and cover with a lid. Cook on a low to medium flame for 15-20 minutes stirring occasionally. After every 3-4 minutes, keep on tossing the pan so that parwals doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Once they are cooked completely, sprinkle the remaining stuffing masala and chopped coriander leaves over them. Stir gently and saute for 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve with phulka rotis or parathas.

    In Bengal stuffed parwal is usually a non veg dish. Stuffed with fish or keema. But this sounds delicious. Bookmarking it to try later.

    I have a fondness for stuffed veggies. It is filling, flavourful and tempting – true in your case here! Parwal looks amazing with your styling and photography, not to forget the recipe for the delicious stuffing. I bet, the parwal haters would soon convert after seeing the images and the recipe.
