Aloo Parval Sabzi recipe is a curry dish made from potato and parwal also known as parval, potol, parol, paror, pointed gourd. There are so many names of this vegetable due to its availablitiy in different Indian states. It is also called Green potato due to its similarity with potato in taste. Parwal is commonly cultivated in Eastern states and some Northern states of India.

This is a dry aloo parval sabzi made by stir frying onion, tomato with potato and parval. We eat parval almost every week. I often cook vegetables like Parwal, Bhindi (Okra), French beans, Baingan (Aubergine) etc in my weekly lunch menu as they are commonly available in local market.

We can make lot of different recipes using parval. Its a versatile vegetable like potato but quite under used and less famous. I will share Bharva parval recipe using parval as soon as I have some time. It tastes amazing.

Let us now check the recipe of dry aloo parval sabzi with step by step images.
