Tindori
Description
Tindori, also known as Ivy Gourd, is a small, emerald green tropical vegetable that resembles a miniature cucumber. It is prized for its firm, succulent flesh and crunchy seeds, offering a mild, slightly tart flavour that absorbs spices beautifully. When cooked, it transitions from a crisp bite to a tender, savoury delicacy.
Culinary Versatility
This versatile gourd is a staple in Indian stir fries (Sabzis) and dry curries, where it is often sliced into thin rounds or quarters and sautéed with cumin and turmeric. It provides a wonderful texture to pickles and can be deep fried into "chips" for a crunchy side dish. In southern regions, it is frequently added to sambars and stews to provide a subtle, cooling element to spicy broths.
Nutritional Benefits
At only 18kcal per 100g, Tindora is an excellent choice for weight management and hydration. It is naturally rich in Dietary Fibre, which aids digestion, and contains significant amounts of Vitamin C and Vitamin A. Traditional medicine often highlights its potential to help regulate blood sugar levels and boost metabolic health.
Storage & Care
Keep in a breathable bag or a reusable mesh pouch in the fridge crisper.
Pro-Tip: For the best flavour, choose firm, bright green gourds and avoid those that have turned bright red inside, as these are overripe and can be mushy. Sauté on high heat initially to lock in the crunch before simmering. Use within 4 to 5 days.
