Dondakaya fry is one of my favourite which can be enjoyed with rice on its own or as a side dish with sambar or dal.
Here is the recipe for variation of Dondakaya fry I have tried.
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Dondakaya /Tindora | 300 grams ( I used frozen) |
| Onions | 1 medium Sliced |
| Red Chilli Powder | 1/4 tsp |
| Turmeric | A big pinch |
| Dry Red Chillies | 8 |
| Garlic | 6 medium cloves |
| Cumin | 1 tsp |
| Salt | as per taste |
| Oil | 2 tbsp |
Method :
1. Grind dry red chillies , garlic and cumin together.
2.Wash and cut the Dondakaya/Tindora in rounds/length wise . Otherwise thaw the frozen Tindora as per instructions
3.Heat the oil in pan add onions and fry until they turn soft , now add Dondakaya/Tindora and cook until it's almost done I.e., it should wilt properly
4. Now add red chilli powder , turmeric and salt cook for few minutes.
5. Now add 1/2 of the ground mixture and fry it for 5 more minutes .
I didnt want my veggies to fry that much this time so that's why you can see green bits still. But for proper version they all should have nice brown color.
