Sorakaya Ava Kura Recipe | How to make Bottle Gourd Curry | Anapakaya Curry Recipe

Hi friends, Today's recipe is Sorakaya Ava Kura Recipe. Bottle Gourd is called Sorakaya or Anapakaya in Telugu states. We can make different varities of curries with the Anapakaya or Sorakaya. Sorakaya Ava Kura is one among them. Ava means mustard, Sorakaya avakura means bottle gourd with mustard. This curry can be made in two different ways, one is Sorakaya Ava Rasam, little thin in texture. The other one is dry curry. Now I am going to give the recipe of the dry curry here. It is very easy and tastes really good. It is a best accompaniment with hot piping rice. This curry need very less ingredients. And takes very less time to cook. The sorakaya ava kura recipe is mostly made in Andhra, and in particular Vizag.
