Being innovative is the key !! 😌☺ Vaali popashpala randayi is a popular curry in Konkani. Vaali means Malabar Spinach and popashpal means Papaya. While these two ingredients are combined with a coconut paste, a garlicky + a bit sweet and spicy gravy is achieved. I SWAPPED an INGREDIENT and made this curry. Instead of Papaya I added Sweet potato to the gravy. It tasted awesome.
