Mangalorean Vegetable Curry Recipes

Ash Gourd Polov|Kuvalo Bafat

Ash Gourd Polov|Kuvalo Bafat

Ash Gourd Polov, also known as Kuvalo Bafat is a popular traditional Mangalorean ash gourd curry.  A roasted masala blend made from a mixture of coconut and bafat powder adds fantastic flavour to the dish, as well as giving the sauce its inviting colour.  This curry is traditionally served on a bed of hot boiled rice at Mangalorean Catholic celebrations, particularly weddings, as a part of a banquet. I prepare this wonderfully comforting dish even on the weekends!!

Malabar Spinach and Paw Paw Curry

Malabar Spinach and Paw Paw Curry

A traditional Mangalorean vegetable curry with a contrast of colour, earthiness and sweetness.  It is made with fresh ingredients such as home-grown Malabar Spinach/Valche Bhajji, matured raw paw paw and served with boiled rice and pickle.  The sweetness of the paw paw works surprisingly well with the slightly spicy and earthy curry.
