Directions

1. 1. Clean the ivy gourd by rinsing under the water. Using a kitchen towel dry the tindora. Cut the ends of all the tindoras. Now slice each into half lengthwise, and then cut slivers out of each half of the tindora. I usually cut 4 slivers per half of the tindora. Repeat for all of them. It takes about 15 minutes to cut the tindora, but its really worth it.
3. 2. In a large pot, on medium heat, add in the oil. Let it heat up for 2 minutes. Now add in the mustard seeds, asafoetida and let it splatter for 20 seconds. Now add in the red onions, saute with a wooden spatula and wait for it to brown slightly about 4-5 minutes. Add in the grated ginger and saute for 10 seconds. Now add in the sliced tindora and potatoes, and toss to coat them with the oil. Add in all the spices like red chilli powder, turmeric, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder and salt, and mix to combine, and coat all the tindora. Cover and let it cook for a total of 20 minutes. Within the 20 minutes, after every 5 minutes or so, saute the vegetable and mix it around so that the bottom does not get burnt. Scrap the vegetable from the bottom. After 20 minutes, make sure that potato is cooked all the way through by pressing against it. It should mash easily. If not cooked after 20 minutes, cook it for another 3-4 minutes. Switch off the gas.
5. 3. Garnish with cilantro and eat it with hot rotlis! Or Gujarati Daal and Rice.
