62. Tondla - Batata and Soya Nuggets Bhaji (Ivy Gourd- Soya nuggets Curry)

Final: Very tasty!

        I am sure many people who cook everyday at home will agree that sometimes it gets boring to eat food cooked in the same way every day. So I decided to have a little fun. I began cooking with 2 ingredients: Ivy Gourd and Potato and began adding different ingredients as I went along. Surprisingly the curry was delicious. Most of the ingredients were unmeasured, but I will try my best to give exact measurements.

Recipe:
Ingredients:
Ivy Gourd/ Tondli: 250 gms cut lengthwise
Potato: 1 medium. Chopped medium
Tomato: 2 chopped
Onion: 1 chopped
Soya nuggets: 1/2 cup: soaked in salted warm water for 20 mins
Garam masala: 1 tsp
Coriander powder: 1 tsp
Red chili powder: 1 tsp
Mustard seeds
Salt
Oil: 1tbsp
Fresh coriander for garnish

Method:
1. In a pan heat oil. Add mustard seeds. Once they begin to splutter add onion and fry till golden. Add tomatoes and fry till the begin leaving oil. Take off heat and grind into a fine paste.
2. In a pan add a little oil and add Tondli and Potato. Add a splash of water and cook covered till they are soft.
3. Add the paste from step 1 to Tondli - Potato. Add Soaked soya nuggets, Garam masala, Coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt.
4. Cook uncovered for 4-5 mins so that the vegetables soak the masala. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot.
