About Tondali Chya Kacharya

Ingredients

Methods

Nutrient values

Kacharya is a way of preparing crispy veggies, popular along the western coastal regions. A dry subzi with a traditional tempering and a garnish of freshly grated coconut, kacharya usually involves stir-frying the vegetable till it is crisp. Ivy gourd is an ideal choice for such a preparation, as it is juicy but does not get soggy on sautéing. So, you will find that the Tondali Chya Kacharya has an exciting crunch, a mildly tangy flavour and a subtle juiciness as well, all of which make it a wonderful accompaniment for rotis and parathas.

Tondali chya kacharya.. a simple tendli dish which gives a coastal flavor to the dish. This recipe goes well with chapati, and dal rice. This recipe is very quick and easy.

Its a very good bhaji for tiffin. Since it does not contain any moisture it remain as it is for a long time without getting spoilt. I stuff these Kachrya in Chapati Roll & gige it to my son in his tiffin.
