Kantola stir fry

I had heard about Kantola  or Kakori vegetable that it has many health benefits . I got it in monsoons. Its available during monsoons & must be consumed during monsoons.I made it by asking my friends & googling for recipes.

My recipe is little different, as I used less oil & sprinkled some water as well.


Ingredients : 250 gm kantola, 3-4 tsp oil, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp powdered hing, 1/4 tsp black pepper powder, 1/4 tsp jeera powder, 1tsp dhania powder, 1tsp red chilli powder, salt to taste.


Method : Wash the kantolas by immersing them in bowl of water for 10-15 minutes. If any dirt is sticking to the kantolas, please remove the dirt by scraping them off. Cut thin round slices of kantolas like one cuts thin slices of potatoes for pakoras or bhajiyas.If the seeds lining inside the kantolas are  hard and or orange in colour, remove the seeds .If the orange is too dark a shade, discard those slices.

Sprinkle pepper powder & turmeric on these thinly sliced kantola pieces.Stir them all so that pepper & turmeric gets coated on all the slices. Keep aside for ten to twelve minutes.

After 10-12 minutes, take a kadhai & heat it. Add oil & the pepper & turmeric coated kantola slices & stir fry them in the oil. After 5  minutes,add hing powder. Mix all nicely., give the ingredients a good stir. Add dhania powder & again mix all ingredients well. Sprinkle about 1 tbsp of water. Cook it covered with a plate. After another five minutes, add jeera powder. Stir all ingredients again so that jeera powder gets nicely mixed with all other ingredients. Let it cook for five minutes. Add red chilli powder. Mix all ingredients again.Add 1 tbsp water. Mix all nicely. Cook covered for about five minutes. Next remove plate cover. Add salt & mix all again. Cook till all water has evaporated. Put off gas.

Serve kakori or kantola fry with rotis or rice dal. It tastes very different .I love the taste !
