Gutti Dondakaya recipe,
To make the stuffing we need to grind a fresh masala, for that we need 2 tbsp grated coconut( i skipped), 2 dried red chilies, 1 tbsp coriander seeds, 2 tbsp peanuts, 1 tsp sesame seeds, 1 tbsp chana dal. For this masala, I skipped coconut because I am gonna make it a dry version if you want to make gravy add coconut.
How to make Gutti Dondakaya recipe step by step recipe,
Dry roast 2 tbsp grated coconut( i skipped), 2 dried red chilies, 1 tbsp coriander seeds, 2 tbsp peanuts, 1 tsp sesame seeds, 1 tbsp chana dal, and then powder it or you can grind it with little water.
Wash and dry 350g Tindora, slit + at the top part, just cut ¾ not fully. Then stuff the masala inside each Tindora. Don’t throw the leftover masala we need later.
Shallow fry the stuffed tindora, I fried in an air fryer.
Now heat a pan with 1 tbsp oil, add 1-inch cinnamon, 2 cloves, add 2 medium-sized onion chopped saute well. add the leftover masala and mix well.
Add salt & turmeric powder. Add the fried tindora and ⅓ water cover and cook for 5 mins. If you want to make it Gravy add ⅓ cup of thick Tamarind extract instead of water and cook tindora. Once the tindora becomes soft and tender, switch off the stove. Gutti Dondakaya ready to serve as a side dish with dal and rice or with rotis.
