Sri LankanVegetables and Pulses

Snake Gourd with Dhal Curry /Pathola Curry

written by Amila Gamage Wickramarachchi February 17, 2014
If you look for snake gourd recipe,then this Snake Gourd with Dhal Curry or as we call in Sri Lanka ‘Pathola Curry’ will be a good idea for you.
I always cook Snake gourd without mixing any other veggie or legume. This time I tried snake gourd with dhal. Actually I saw many Indian recipes which cook snake gourd and dhal together and thought of give it a try.Anyway,I changed the Indian recipe to a Sri Lankan version. I added coconut milk and even spices are as per Sri Lankan cooking. This combination is really good and the curry came out well.

Pathola Curry

 Before posting this, I checked for Sri Lankan style snake gourd recipe in my blog. Seems I haven’t shared any Sri Lankan recipe. May be next time I will cook Sri Lankan Snake gourd curry(pathola curry) and share it here. Anyway, I have shared a salad recipe with snake gourd. Try it. It is delicious and healthy too, same as carrot salad.
Here is the recipe for Snake Gourd and Dhal curry.
