What is Tindora?
This ivy gord vegetable goes by a long list of names: tindora, kundru, kovakkai – just to name a few. This Indian vegetable is bright green and resembles a small cucumber. It’s mildly flavored and crunchy. It’s my husband’s favorite vegetable (and while I still need to learn how to make it the South Indian way from my MIL), for today – I’m sharing the North Indian version made with Onion Masala and spices.
Tindora Ingredients
How to Make Tindora Sabzi
Press sauté, add oil, and when it heats up, add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and green chili. When the cumin seeds turn brown, add the tindora slices, water, and lemon juice. Put the onion masala on top, then sprinkle spices. Do not mix. Pressure cook, and when it’s done, press sauté and cook until the mixture is dry. Once it’s done, enjoy the tindora with rice, roti, raita, and a bowl of Toor Dal (or whatever dal you’d like!). Check out the recipe below and let me know what you think of this veggie!
