Kovaikkai in Yogurt Coconut Sauce / Ivygroud in Yogurt Coconut SauceI have taste these tangy flavored kovaikkai back in India in one of my relative long back. The taste was so good. At that time I wasn't into cooking so just brush off the taste and completely forgotten about that. As I was waiting for son at the bus-stop-some of the ladies were discussing about what they prepared for lunch and other stuffs. I heard one of them mention about adding yogurt to koavikkai poriyal. My memory of having them flashed back and here I am sharing that recipe with all!!
