Method:

• Then add the chopped onion and curry leaves let it fry for 2 min's .
• Now add the dondakaya(ivy guard) add pinch of salt and turmeric and mix
• On medium heat cover the pan with a lid and in between keep mixing it,so that it doesnt stick to the pan.This will ensure that the dondakaya pc's will become soft n cooked.
