Ingredients

  • 2-3 tbsp Oil
  • 2-3 thinly sliced Onions
  • 500 gm thinly sliced Ivy Gourd
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Ginger garlic paste
  • 1/8 tsp Asafoetida or Hing
  • 2-3 slit Green Chillies
  • 1 small bunch chopped Coriander Leaves
  • 1 tsp Coriander powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder

Instructions

  • Wash and cut semi thick round slices of the Ivy Gourd or Donde as it's called in the City. In a pan, heat some oil and add the Ginger garlic paste. Saute it for a few seconds and then add in the Asafoetida or Hing and the other ingredients as well. Now add in some chopped Onions. After they are translucent or light brown, add in the chopped Tomatoes and thinly sliced Ivy Gourd.
  • Cover and cook on a low flame for 10-12 minutes. Do not over cook it. It should retain the crunch. And not to forget the fact that it will be done real quick. It will take almost 18 to 20 minutes in all. Stir fry it for a little longer duration if you prefer it to be more crispier.
  • Garnish with Coriander and serve hot. It goes very well with plain Rice. Serve hot as a delicious side dish to many an important meals. Yum! Enjoy!
