Rajasthani Tendli(Ivy Gourd) Fry

by Neetu

Yes, it has been really long since I have written any post, bringing up a toddler is a very hectic job (for those who don’t understand this : P) you hardly get any time for yourself. These days I am very actively getting in touch with people to write for my blog, so someone asked me that will you post the day to day recipes on your blog or it has to be something fancy. Well the answer lies in this post I have added a pinch of twist to the daily boring Tendli and made it a little more interesting and we all need to do that in our day to day life as well to keep the charm on ; )

 

INGREDIENTS:-

Tendli/Ivy Gourd: 300 Gms Oil: 2 Tbsp Cumin Seeds/Jeera: 1/2 Tsp Fennel Seeds/Saunf: 1/2 Tsp Salt: to taste Turmeric Powder: 1/4 Tsp

Coriander Powder: 1 Tbsp Red Chilly Powder: to taste Curry Powder: 1 Tsp Roased Besam(Gram Flour): 1 Tbsp Garam Masala: 1/2 Tsp Aamchur Powder: 1/2 Tsp

SERVINGS:-

This Quantity will serve 2-3 people.

METHOD:-

• Wash, rinse and wipe Tendli/Ivy Gourd and cut them into 4 pieces lengthwise.
• Heat oil in a pan, add add cumin seeds and fennel seeds, when it crackles add cut tendli.
• Add salt and turmeric, cover and cook till 3/4^th done.
• Now add all other ingredients except Garam Masala & Amchur Powder.

• Cover and cook till done.
• Finish off by adding Garam Masala & Amchur Powder.
• Serve hot.

Fennel Seeds give the dish a fresh aroma and flavour and Besan (Gram Flour) subtle downs the flavour and gives it that Rajasthani taste.
