The key to making tasty tindora sabzi at home are
- Firstly, select fresh green tindora of medium thickness for the sabzi and slice them into medium thick pieces. Alternatively, you can also cut them into long slices.
- Secondly, add some besan (gram flour) to the masala. Besan acts as a binding agent, allowing the masala to coat the tindora easily. Alternatively, you can use roasted chana dal powder as a substitute.
- Lastly, tindora nu shak tastes great the following day as it absorbs the masala flavors well.
