Today we have a spicy lip-smacking chutney with tindora/dosakaya/kovakkai. When i made the chutney, none could identify the vegetable. I even fed this chutney mixed with rice to my Lil one, though it was a bit spicy for his age he loved it.
This chutney makes a scrumptious combo with idly/dosa and also a filling meal when mixed with steaming hot rice and ghee. Do try it and let me know your comments.

Priya, a small correction. It is dondakaya not dosakaya. Ivy gourd is dondakaya. Another mouthwatering chutney!!
