In this article, I’ll share how to prepare snake gourd fry.
It is a simple comfort food from my everyday cooking, Snake Fry Recipe, another recipe typical to Andhra Cuisine. It is the veggie that gives a unique flavour to the curry.
Snake Gourd is also called Potlakaya in Telugu, it has a snake like shape and possesses vitamins A, B and C including significant levels of dietary fibres and a large amount of water. It is a low calorie food and helpful for healthy nutrition.
Now lets check out the recipe. I am sharing my Youtube video here so it would be easy for you to follow.
