Tinda Masala is a popular North Indian dish made from apple gourds (Tinda) cooked in a fragrant mix of spices. This dish pairs perfectly with rotis or rice for a comforting meal.
Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. Let them splutter.
Add sliced onions and sauté until they turn translucent.
Add ginger garlic paste and sauté until the raw smell disappears.
Introduce tomatoes and green chilies, cooking until the tomatoes are mushy.
Stir in turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook the masala until oil separates from the sides.
Add the sliced tindas, cover, and cook on low heat till the tindas are soft.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
