Snake Gourds (Pudalangai) can be stuffed, stir-fried, baked or made into curries. Pudalangai Poriyal is simple nutritional poriyal where cooked Pudalnagai (Snake Gourd) is sautéed with spices and finally garnished with coconut. It’s a tasty poriyal, goes very well as a side dish for any conventional south Indian lunch menu. It’s a low calorie vegetable, good in fiber and perfect for weight loss diet.

Choose the right Pudalangai (snake gourd) for cooking

Tender and young snake gourd should be picked up for cooking. It should be firm and smooth. While bending, the snake gourd should not break. if it break easily, then it’s over grown and not suitable for cooking. Also check the thickness of the skin.. If it’s so think, then it will take long time to cook and should be avoided.  Also, it’s recommended to select the gourd with light green color

Do we need to scrap the outer skin of the gourd ?

I usually wash the gourd in the water and use them for cooking. However, if the outer skin is  gray/white skin coated on top of it,  then use the sharp knife and scrap the outer skin.

Variations in cooking Pudalangai Poriyal:

  • You can optionally add onion
  • You can also cook this poriyal along with handful of moong dal
  • For additional spice, you can add green chili which gives good flavor.

Other Simple Poriyal varieties to try:

  1. Carrot Poriyal
  2. Beetroot Poriyal
  3. Cabbage Poriyal
  4. Carrot Beans Poriyal
