Simple Tindora Fry

Today my dearest hubby came back from a 2 week long business trip :). He loves dondakaya/tindora, so I made a very simple side dish using tindora. The dish was an excellent side dish with palak methi pappu. 

Ingredients:

Tindora/Dondakaya - 2 cups, sliced length wise

Ginger Garlic Paste - 1/4 tsp

Turmeric Powder - a pinch

Chilli Powder - 1/2 tsp

Oil - 1 tbsp

Cumin Seeds - 1/4 tsp

Mustard Seeds - 1/4 tsp

Salt - As per taste

Method of Preparation:

1. Heat oil in a non stick pan. Add mustard seeds, after they splutter add cumin seeds. Then add the chopped tindora/dondakaya, tuermeric powder and mix well.

2. Cook covered on medium heat for 7-10 minutes. Stir in between.

3. Add ginger garlic paste, chilli powder and salt, mix well, sprinkle a little water, if required. Cook covered for another 8-10 minutes, stirring in between.

4. After the tindora is cooked through, cook uncovered for 5-8 minutes. Take off heat.

5. Serve the tasty simple tindora fry with hot steamed rice.
