Ingredients
- 500 grams Ivy Gourd (Tondli/Tindora)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 3 tablespoons Freshly grated coconut
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the Ivy Gourd thoroughly. Trim the ends and slice them lengthwise into quarters.
Step 2
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds, until aromatic.
Step 4
Add the sliced Ivy Gourd to the pan and stir well to coat them with the oil and cumin seeds.
Step 5
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt over the Ivy Gourd. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low-medium, cover the pan, and let the Ivy Gourd cook for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Once the Ivy Gourd is tender and slightly golden around the edges, add the freshly grated coconut to the pan. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Step 9
Turn off the heat and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves if desired.
Step 10
Serve hot as a side dish with paleo-friendly flatbreads or enjoy it on its own as a healthy, flavorful meal.
