Tindora Aloo Curry - Review

The only time I check a food blog is either to look at the beautiful pictures or when I don’t know what to make. I am amazed at the variety of cuisines. More over, when I look through the pages one by one,I am inspired to cook something special for Chuks and Poppins. The search for “Something special” always ends in a sweet dessert. I should say we all got very big sweet tooth.

Last day, while browsing through the food blogs, I suddenly remembered that I will have to make some curry for chapatti.A quick look into the fridge: I have some Tindora(Kovakka).Its been there for a week now. That’s the only vegetable there. I usually make Tindora Mezhukkupuratti. Been bored of that for a while.So,as usual, typed into google “Tindore Recipes".The first one that caught my attention was “Tindora : 41 Recipes”.Being a lazy cook,I completely ignored the stuffed variety completely.My motto is to spend the least time in kichen.Picked up the “Tindora Aloo Curry”. Inspired by the recipe,I made the dish.Instead of cutting it in long pieces ,I cut them into small square ones and I avoided the urad dal.

Nothing went wrong. It was just an Ok dish.The only problem was tindora(Ivy guard) did not get cooked well.I put both tindora and the potato together and by the time potato was well cooked,tindora was lagging behind.Next time,I may cook both of them separately.Anyway,finished the dinner with chappathi,tindora curry and raita.


Verdict: The potato pieces tasted good. Tindora was undercooked. I did not like it really
