Dondakaya Pachadi/Tindora Chutney

Happy Mother’s Day !!!!

Today I wanted to make some dish which I learnt from my sweet mom. Then I decided to do make some chutney as my mom is an expert in making unique kinds of pachadi’s from different veggies.

So I tried making this tindora chutney which my mom used to make quite regularly when we were kids. It is quite simple and I love its delicious taste with hot steamed rice along with some vadiyalu.

Ingredients:

Fresh Tindora/Dondakaya – 15 to 20 no

Green chillies – 4 -5 no

Jeera – 1 tsp

Garlic – 1 no

Salt  As Required

Tamarind – 1 small lemon size

Tumeric powder – ¼ tsp

For Tampering

Jeera – ¼ tsp

Avalu/Mustard seeds – ¼ tsp

Urad dal – ¼ tsp

Curry leaves – 4-5 no

Oil – 1 tsp

Red Chillies

Preparation 

• Cut tindora into small pieces.
• In a pan add 1 tsp of oil and sauté the dondakaya pieces.
• In the same pan add another 1 tsp of oil and sauté jeera, green chillies, garlic on medium flame. Remove and keep aside.
• Grind the roasted mixture along with roasted tindora pieces, turmeric powder, tamarind and salt to  a coarse paste.
• Heat oil in a pan for tampering; add the mustard seeds, jeera, urad dal after they splutter add curry leaves and red chillies and fry till the dal turns red.
• Add this tampering to the chutney paste.
• Serve with hot rice/idli’s/dosa.
