Pachai Mochai/Avarai kulambu

Avarai kaai or pachai mochai is a seasonal vegetable, people are really crazy about it and keep buying it very frequently during the season. In karnataka they add it in Akki Roti or Uppit(Upma).
But i always relished this kulambu the better.

2.On the same mixer add onions and Tomato and make a very smooth paste.
3.Peel the avarai and wash it and cook in pressure cooker for 2 whistles with little salt.
