Parwal Green fries (pointed gourd)

Lazy Saturday afternoon, some warm food is much needed. Bonus if it’s immunity boosting, flavorful, low calorie, easy to make, and a superfood for the body. Enter parwal paired with potato. I used fresh parwal since frozen ones have not worked so well, to make this entree crispy. The traditional way is stovetop but I used the air fryer to get this done in 10 mins cool time + 10 mins prep. I’d say this is one of the highest ROI dishes I’ve made in the air fryer. The spices and spices used here very traditional Indian; you could also use more fusion seasonings to give it a twist. I hope you like it as much as we did. Surprisingly, the kiddo ate it like French fries, okay, I may have influenced that a bit, by calling it “Green fries”. The Air fryer is the kitchen hero!
