~ Summer Food Festival ~ Recipe of the day: Tel Patol (Pointed Gourd) / Parwal in Oil



Hello dear foodies! Hope you all are doing well there! 

In summer; we homemakers are facing so many problems to cook lunch of dinner! Because, our family members (even myself! LOL) not like most of the vegetables, common in summer. Pointed Gourd or Parwal is one of them! Whenever my hubby brings Pointed Gourd, I cook ‘Tel-Patol’ or ‘Patol Posto’ or ‘Patol Paneer’ or any ‘chatpata’ dish and the bowl always becomes empty!  Today, I’m going to share the recipe of spicy ‘Tel-Patol’ and will share the all recipes, mentioned before in coming blogs! Here I go………..
