Kovakkai Fry / Tindora Fry

Kovakkai Fry is very delicious with rice and roti. It is slightly crunchy and that is the highlight of this fry. I used sesame seed oil for this fry as it is good for health. 

Ingredients

• Kovakkai (tindora) - 1/2 kg
• Chopped onions - 2 nos.
• Chilli powder - 1 tsp
• Rice flour - 2 tsp
• Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
• Coriander leaves - 2 sprigs
• Salt - as your taste
• Oil - as required

Method

1. In a pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds. When mustard seeds splutter, add chopped onions. Fry till onions turn light brown.
2. Add chopped round kovakkai pieces and salt. Fry for three to four minutes.
3. Add chilli powder and fry for two more minutes. 
4. Do not add water as it will make the fry mushy. At one stage, kovakkai will become crispy. Close the pan and cook for two more minutes. It should be little crunchy. Finally, add coriander leaves.

Note: If you 1/2 tsp rice flour, fry become more crispy. Do not overcook kovakkai.
