Tindora fry :

Tindora (dondakay) steamed fry (healthy & yummy) in Andhra Style :

I just love Tindora(dondakaya) fry but as my diet is mostly less oil foods I don’t often cook desi fry’s since I had to use little more cooking oil than what I consume on daily basis to make it delicious but I saw this steamed fry on a curry point menu then I decided to recreate.
Guess what it is such a hit and tastes very yummy and much less cooking time. Let’s jump into the recipe
