Notes

NOTE-
1- Scraping parwal is optional ,you can just wash and slice them.
2-Avoid peeling parwal with a potato peeler as removing thick peel make the parwal soft and lumpy after it gets cooked so if you like crisp parwal then just lightly scrape it.
3- In Uttar pradesh we prefer to make dry curry/stir fries in mustard oil but you can also use your preferred oil.
4-Addition of potatoes is optional you can make this stir fry with sliced parwals only .
5- Remove the black or red seeds only ,no need to remove white seeds from parwals.
