3/4 lb-1 lb Tindora/Dondakaya (Ivy gourd)
1/2 cup Besan
2 tbsp Sambar Powder
4 Tbsp Olive plus 2 tbsp
1 tbsp Cumin Coriander powder
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt +1/8 tsp
1 tsp Red chilli powder
5-6 curry leaves
1 tsp cumin seeds
- Slit Tindora vertically just enough to open up for stuffing.Do not cut it all the way through
- Boil them in enough water with salt just till tender
- Drain the water in a colander and let the veggies sit until all the water is drained
- Combine besan, sambar powder, cumin and coriander powder, turmeric, chilli powder and 1/8 th of a tsp salt.
- Stuff the veggies with the above mixture.The stuffing WILL fall out but that is okay.We will add the rest of the spice mixture later to the Tindora
- Heat 4 tbsp oil and add cumin seeds and curry leaves
- Add the stuffed Tindora and add the remaining of the spice mixture on top an cover till they are browned.If you observe that it is getting too dry, add the extra 2 tbsp of oil
- Serve hot with rice
Hugs,
Shri
