Tindora fry / Kovakka poriyal


                                Kovakka fry is delicious and easy to cook. It's yummy simple fry that goes well with curd rice or sambar rice. I saw this recipe in Chef Dr.Dhamu's blog. I used to do this very frequently in my home. Kovakka has lots of medicinal values too, its rich in minerals, protein and fibre and also good for diabetics.

Ingredients

  • Tindora - 1/2 kg
  • Onion - 1 (large)
  • Tamarind - 1 lemon size ball
  • Oil - 2 tbsp
  • Chilli powder - 1 tbsp
  • Cumin seed powder - 1 tbsp
  • Corriander powder - 1 tbsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Fennel seed - 1 tbsp

Direction

1. Chop onion well and cut tindora in lengthwise. 

2. Heat oil in a pan. Add fennel seeds into it.Then add chopped onion into it. Saute it for 2 mins. And then add the sliced tindora. Fy it till tindora starts shrinking. While frying, sprinkle some water.

3. Add chilli powder, cumin powder, corriander powder and salt into it. Let it be in medium flame for 15mins.

4. Then add tamarind water into it. Let it be in low flame for 10 - 12 mins. 

Serve it hot with rice.


Happy cooking....
