TINDORA CHUTNEY

Once I was watching some Telugu channel but I don’t remember which channel it was. I think it must be 3 years back but normally I do not watch any regional channel. It was fortunate that while changing channel I started watching this channel because there was a cookery show coming on that. Honestly I do not remember anything about this programme what channel it was???, what was the programme name?? Who was hosting??? Nothing, only I remember the recipe came on it because it was really interesting.


So the recipe is all about a chutney which is made from the Tindora (Ivy guard). In India, we make different curry from tindora and while making this we throw some tindora which is over ripen. Here is the key of the recipe, yes the chutney is made from over ripen tindora. Take a look how I have made this.
