"Hulitovve" is a dish which is similar to Sambar with variations in the ingredients and taste.This can be prepared with vegetables like Snakegourd, Ridge gourd, Sweet pumpkin.Hulitovve is usually made during festivals and most of the time in Raghavendra Swamy Mutts in Bangalore.
I have used Ridge gourd in Hulitovve. I usually make chutney from the ridge gourd's skin and use the inside part for Hulitovve.The one ingredient which gives taste to this is Cinnamon powder/Dalchini powder.
