Kovakkai / Tindora Curry

This Kovakkai aka tindora curry is the simplest thing to make. The only thing that takes time is the cutting. It of course helps if you can manage to buy really tender & fresh kovakkai. But since they are then tinier, it takes longer to cut. But it is well worth the effort, because the curry just melts in your mouth then!!!

Ingredients

Kovakkai / tindora - 500 gms
potato - 1, big
turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
chili powder 1/2 tsp
salt to taste
oil - 2-3 tbsp
chopped coriander - 1-2 Tbsp


For the Tadka:-

mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
jeera - 1/2 tsp.


Method

1. Cut the kovakkai /tindora into thin diskettes. Peel & cut the potato into small pieces.
2. Heat the oil in the kadai. Add the mustard & jeera. Let the mustard splutter.
3. Add the kovakkai, potatoes, turmeric & salt. Mix well & allow to cook on low flame until the vegetables are well cooked. Keep stirring them once in a while.
4. Add the chilli powder & mix again & cook for 3-4 minutes more.
5. Top with chopped coriander & serve hot.



P.S

If you are serving this curry with rotis, you could add a pinch of garam masala, if you like the flavor.
