Kundru Ki Sukhi Sabji (Dry Tendli, Ivy Gourd, Coccinia) is a simple but flavorful side dish. This humble vegetable is very easy to handle and there is almost no wastage as you don’t need to peel it or de-seed it unlike many vegetables. Just wash and slice them and you are ready to cook.
I have used mustard oil as I love the pungency of it in many of the dry sabjis I cook. Minimal dry spices are used in this recipe as the Sabzi is flavored by ginger, garlic and green chilies.
Kundru as commonly known in Odisha and Bengal is loved by most of the people there. It is a great source of soluble fibre and vitamins. If you want to know more about this vegetable then the link is provided here.
