Oven Roasted Kovakai ~ simple side dish recipe
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a great and simple way to make kovakai. I have always made kovakai with lots of onion and tomato more like a masala. My husband never liked it very much. So i thought why not marinate kovakai in olive oil. indian home made sambhar podi and oven roast it. And here is the recipe for that. It came out really well and my husband loved it.
Ingredients
------------
Kovakai-350 grams, dispose the cut ends, and slice each piece into 4 quarters length wise
sambhar podi-1 tbsp(home made-red chillies mixed)-use more for elevated spice
fennel powder-1/2 tsp
salt-3/4 tbsp(according to taste)
coriander powder-1/2 tsp
olive oil-4 tbsp
Method
--------
1.Cut the kovakai as mentioned above and pat dry them. You can use kitchen tissue to squeeze the extra water. The more dry, the more roasted they will be.
2.Prep the oven. Turn it on at 350 degrees.
3.In a ziploc bag(freezer bag) add the olive oil, sambhar podi, salt, coriander powder, fennel powder. Close the bag and mix the oil and the masala podi nicely.
4.Add the cut kovakai into the zip loc bag and close the bag. Turn the bag upside down and shake it so that the all of kovakai are thoroughly coated with the masala.
5.Cover a cookie sheet with aluminium foil(so that it makes cleaning easier).
6.Spread the kovakai mix on the cookie sheet. Spread it as evenly as possible.
7.Place the cookie sheet into the oven and let it sit for 25-35 mins. You can do a peeka-boo after 20 mins to see how your kovakai is doing.
8.To make it very cripsy, keep it in broil for 3-4 mins(Please be very careful as broil temperature is very high and will burn your veggies).
9.Garnish with minced coriander, or a dry mixture of italian herbs(basil,oregano)
Note: You can substitute kovakai with thinly sliced red potatoes and red small radish.
