Thindoora Fry / Dondakaya Fry

                                                                             

My mom used to prepare this Dondakaya/ Thindoora stir fry in two different ways. Both versions were good with Rice & Chapati. Today I would introduce one version and soon will introduce the other version as well. We use to have lunch Dondakaya fry with Sambar or Rasam. My Mom will prepare at least 3 to 4 items for lunch and for dinner we use to have only chapati or some times Idly. Lovely days to remember.
