April 29, 2020 by maria 2 Comments

Easy Tendli Masala or Tindora Masala recipe – This is a quick recipe of tendli (ivy gourd) made in less than 20 mins yet delicious and goes well with chapatis, rotis or as a side dish. This recipe calls for minimal spice and ingredient’s only 5 ingredient’s are used for making this veggie.

Tendli Masala (Quick & Healthy)

We love quick veggies with masala base like mushroom Tawa masala, egg dry masala, egg curry masala and prawns masala. In a similar way you could make bhindi masala or gavar masala. For variation, you could add tomatoes.

I have used an aluminium vessel preferably nonstick pan would be better to use for this recipe. As veggies tend to stick to the bottom in any metal vessel apart from nonstick pan or pots.

Our whole meal was tendli masala, egg masala curry with rice. Hubby relished this for dinner and requested to give some for next day in tiffin 😉

When you buy ivy-gourd ensure they are tender while you slice them the seed shouldn’t be too red. If they look too red that means they are over-ripen and won’t taste good.
