Those who are not a fan of this humble veggie like me, will definitely fall for this yummy stir fry side dish. This is a very easy and a quick recipe with appetizing flavours. So do give it a try by following the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare it








  • 300-400 gms. Ivy Gourd / Tindora, steamed
  • 1 tbsp. coriander seeds
  • 1 tsp. cumin seeds 
  • 1-2 onion, sliced
  • 8-10 garlic cloves
  • 7-8 red chilies
  • 3 tbsp. oil
  • pinch of asafoetida
  • 1 tsp. mustard seeds 
  • 1 sprig curry leaves 
  • salt to taste 
  • 1 tsp. lime juice
  • 1-2 tbsp. coriander leaves, chopped








          Heat 1 tbsp. oil and sauté the onion, red chilies, garlic, coriander seeds, cumin seeds and a pinch of salt till they turn slightly brown. Keep aside to cool and grind to a coarse paste.

          Add the steamed Ivy Gourd and salt to taste. Sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the ground paste and combine everything well. Stir fry for 2 minutes.
