Tondli Chi Bhaji is yet another lip smacking recipe from Maharashtrian cuisine which is made with shallow fried Tendli, Tindora or Ivy Gourd. This recipe goes very well with rotis and paranthas along with some dal or gravy on side.
Seasoned with whole spices and Goda Masala this Tendle Chi Bhaji is an easy and aromatic addition to your meals. Here we also give you the recipe to make a small batch of ‘Goda Masala’ which is a speciality of Maharastrian Cuisine. However you can also use the regular Garam Masala, though the dish would taste wonderful that way too, but you would miss the classic Maharastrian flavors.
Since tindora is a soft vegetable or more like a small cucumber, hence it doesn’t takes much of time in cooking and therefore you can make quick recipes out of it. In North India Ivy Gourd is also popularly known as ‘Kundru’. If you have ever worked with this vegetable, then you would know that when you cut, it is light green in color but some Kundrus even come out red in color. Do not discard these red ones unless they are squishy. These red kundrus have a wonderful tangy flavor and I always make sure to add them in my vegetable for an extra punch.
So come, let us check out the recipe of this wonderful Tondli Chi Bhaji….!
