aloo tendli sabzi recipe with step by step photos. this gujarati tendli sabzi recipe is made with potatoes. i got this tendli recipe from a gujarati friend of my husband. thanks to him and his mom, i now know a couple of gujarati recipes.

tendli is also called tindora in hindi. tendli is the marathi and konkani term. in english it is known as ivy gourd.

tendli as i call it in my native language has been a regular vegetable at my mom’s place.  she would make the tendli upkari – a konkani recipe with chappatis and dal. it was so regular at my place that after some time i started getting bored of it. few more tendli recipes on the blog are:

  • bharwan tendli
  • tendli bhaat
  • tindora chana masala.

yet, when i was away from home, i do used to miss this vegetable. such are our minds. when we have it, we get bored of it or take it for granted and when we do not have it, we miss it or long for it.

my mom would make upkaris of almost all the vegetables like cabbage upkari and i would simply love them. tendli upkari is great dish and now i know…. how much i miss it.

aloo tendli sabzi recipe - ivy gourd and potatoes dish from the gujarati cuisine.

course: side dish
cuisine: gujarati
servings: 4
author: dassana amit
ingredients (1 cup = 250 ml)
  • 250 grams tendli (tindora or ivy gourd or gherkins)
  • 1 large potato (aloo)
  • 1 green chili (hari mirch)
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder (haldi)
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder (dhania powder)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds powder (jeera powder)
  • 1 sprig curry leaves (kadi patta)
  • ½ inch ginger (adrak), chopped
  • ½ teaspoon mustard seeds (rai)
  • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds (jeera)
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili powder (lal mirch powder), optional
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon ghee or oil
  • salt as required
how to make recipe
  1. clean the tendlis in water. then wipe them with the kitchen towel and chop the tendli lengthwise into 4 pieces. 

  2. wash, peel and dice the potatoes too. slit the green chili.

  3. heat 1 tablespoon ghee or oil in the pressure cooker. add ½ teaspoon mustard seeds (rai).

  4. when the mustard seeds crackle, then add ½ teaspoon cumin seeds (jeera).

  5. now add 1 sprig curry leaves (kadi patta), ½ inch chopped ginger (adrak), 1 slit green chili (hari mirch) and fry for a minute.

  6. add the chopped tendli and potatoes.

  7. add ½ teaspoon turmeric powder (haldi), 1 teaspoon coriander powder (dhania powder), 1 teaspoon cumin seeds powder (jeera powder) and ¼ teaspoon red chili powder (lal mirch powder) if using. addition of red chilli powder is optional.

  8. stir well. add ½ cup of water and salt as required.

  9. pressure cook for 2 whistles or till both aloo and tindora are cooked.

  10. check if there is any water still remaining. if yes, then keep the cooker on the flame and simmer the gravy for some minutes. so that the water dries up. also the aloo tendli should be completely cooked.

  11. however if you want a little gravy, then you could keep the water and no need to simmer the aloo tendli gravy. 

  12. since i like to this aloo tendli as a side dish with roti, i prefer aloo tendli sabzi with no water.

  13. you can serve aloo tendli sabzi with gujarati rotlis or chapatis. 

  14. aloo tendli sabzi also goes well with plain parathas. you could also have it as a side dish or as a side veggie dish with dal and rice.

recipe notes

    Hi Dassana, so i understand that you are from Mangalore. especially because of the word Upkari. I am from Mangalore too. But i learnt cooking only gujarati dishes. i am trying the Tindora today as i am not in a mood to do a lot of cuttings. i hate cutting vegetables:( i have tried your mutter paneer and palak paneer recipe and must say it came out well. I also gave your Rajma recipe to one of my friends and suggested your website for vegetarian dishes. can i request you to post some typical Mangalorean dishes too. i really miss it and i want my husband and son to try my regional dishes:)
