    Tindora | Ivy gourd is one wonder vegetable which I missed cooking a lot. After coming to Chennai I found this vegetable quite in abundance in marked and I loved cooking and experimenting various dishes with it. Hubby never like Tindora but when I made this delicious crispy fried Tindora he loved it and he used to pick this veggie from marked during our shopping regularly even if I forget. This has now become one of our regular lunch side dish menu. Now let’s get started !

     
    Tindora Fry | Crispy Ivy Gourd Fry
     
    Recipe Cuisine: Indian |  Recipe Category : SideDish
    Prep Time: 30 mins | Cook Time : 7-10 mins/batch| Serves: 6 |Author :Sharmila
    Ingredients                              
    ·        Tindora / Ivy gourd – ¼ kg
    ·        Red Chilli powder – 2 tsp
    ·        Coriander powder – 1 tsp
    ·        Rice flour – 1 tbsp
    ·        Corn Flour – 1 tbsp
    ·        Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
    ·        Amchur powder – ½ tsp
    ·        Garam Masala – ½ tsp
    ·        Salt as needed
    ·        Fennel Seeds  - 1 tsp – ½ tsp
    ·        Oil for deep frying
    ·        Water to sprinkle
     
     Step by step Method with pictures:
     
    1. Slice the Tindora and keep in a mixing bowl. To this add in the Chilli powder, Coriander powder, Rice flour, Corn flour, Turmeric powder, Amchur powder, Garam Masala, and Fennel Seeds. Give a nice toss such that all the masala powders are evenly coated over the sliced tindora.
    2. Now sprinkle in few drops of water to it such that the Masala gets thickly coated to the veggies. Now heat in oil for deep frying .Once the oil is hot add in the Tindora in batches and deep fry.
    3. Cook in high flame for 1 min and then in a medium flame till the Tindora is fully cooked. Flip and cook in regular intervals. Once it is fully cooked remove from oil and keep in paper towels to remove the excess oil. Serve hot with Rice.
    Notes:
     
    • Feel free to add the spice powders according to your taste buds.
    • This was mildly spicy and we loved it with Steamed Rice and Sambar.
    • Make sure the oil is very hot while frying otherwise it consumes excess oil and takes time to get cooked.
    • Don’t over crowd the pan while frying in batches.
    • Make sure you flip the Tindora after 1 min frying in high flame otherwise the Masala might tend to leave apart.

    I actually prepared this Tindora Fry long and I have shared the pic in my IG profile long back. Due to our Mega Marathon I had to wait and post now J
    Enjoy it hot and crispy J
