Recipe Variants

Tendli, known as ivy gourd in English is a highly nutritious vegetable, which is easily available throughout the year in India. It cooks fast and can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the simplest way, is to toss it in a simple tempering with basic Indian spices. Make sure you cook it for just the right amount of time, so as to maintain the crunch and bright green colour of the vegetable. Give a special coconut twist to your regular Tendli Bhaji by adding half a cup of grated coconut, just before removing the dish from the flame.
