I recently made the Parwal Aloo Sabji according to ur recipe. Everything went fine except that the parwal didn't become tender even after half an hour of keeping on low fire and stirring from time to time. My question is : does the parwal have to be peeled before quartering lengthways?

Hello vandana

It is possible that the parwal were not fresh or they were too mature, with togh skins and tough seeds. Also, the cooked dish should not be soft, the skins should retain a bit of crunch, with soft flesh inside.

Hello Mamta

Thanx for ur prompt reply. Yes, the parwals were not fresh and too mature. Will select fresh ones and try ur recipe again!

One more thing Vandana; if they are too ripe, that is their seeds are gard or turning yellow/orange, they must be scooped out.
