BM #105 Week 1 Day 1 - 

After a hectic month long marathon, we are back to blogging at a leisurely pace. This week I have chosen to present some side dishes to go with Rice or Roti.

Today's fry goes well with rice/millet/quinoa along with Dal/Sambar/Rasam.

This version of Dondakaya (Tindora) Fry is our latest favorite at home. 

Ingredients - 

Tindora / Dondakaya , washed and chopped lengthwise about 2 cups
Salt, Turmeric and Red Chili powder as needed
Oil 1 Tbsp
To Grind - 
Peanuts, roasted 1 Tbsp
Sesame seeds roasted 1/2 tsp
Coriander seeds 1 tsp
Red Chilies 1-2



Method Of Preparation -


To hasten the process, I microwave the chopped tindora for about 4-5 minutes.

In a heated pan, add oil and the microwaved tindora.

Fry for a few minutes while mixing gently. Sprinkle turmeric and gently mix or toss. [It typically takes about 5-10 minutes.]

While the tindora is frying, powder the ingredients listed under 'To grind'. Set aside.

When the vegetable turns a shade of brown and appears cooked through, sprinkle salt, red chili powder and the ground peanut-sesame powder.


Serve warm with a side of rice and dal/sambar/rasam.

  5. Dondakaya is our favorite vegetable too if not for the chopping part. It is such a comfort dish. And btw what is that '3' in the title?
