Stuffed Pudalankai (SnakeGourd)

Stuffed Pudalankai (Snake Gourd) is a popular Indian dish with varied stuffing options. In this recipe, “Paruppu Usili,” a blend of crumbled lentils and spices, serves as the stuffing. The snake gourd is cut, hollowed, boiled slightly, and filled with the stuffing. These filled pieces are then pan-fried and garnished with leftover stuffing. The dish pairs well with Indian bread or rice.
