Tarua may begin with aubergine, potato, pumpkin, pointed gourd or another seasonal vegetable. Chura gives the hot fried slices a plain, grain-based companion and turns a few pieces into a more complete snack.
Because tarua is a method rather than one vegetable, this pairing changes with the agricultural season.
