Olan is a common dish in Sadya's in Kerala. There are different varieties and this one is made of Ash Gourd / Kumbalanga alone. Its a very simple curry to make and will take maybe 15 mins of your time.
The only trick in this is the way you cut the Vegetable. It should be very thin and due to this it gets cooked in 5-6 mins max.
It is not very spicy, so its best to have with rice and something spicy like Pickles or a spicy Upperi :-)
Ingredients (Serves 3)
Ash Gourd - 400 gms
Green Chilly - 2 nos
Water - 1/2 cup
Salt
Coconut milk - 1/2 cup
Curry leaves - few
Oil - 1 tspn
Chop ashguord in very thin slices
Cook the ashgourd pieces in water with the salt and green chilly. It took me 5 mins for it to get cooked.
Now increase the heat and let the water dry.
Switch off the heat and add the coconut milk and do a taste test
Add the curry leaves and drizzle the oil.
Serve over hot rice :-)
Happy Eating!!!
