Dondakaya Crispy Fry Recipe | How to make Dondakaya Fry | (Tindora fry recipe)

Hi friends, thank you for visiting my website and @EATeasyvegrecipes youtube channel. Today's recipe is dondakaya crispy fry. It is a very simple recipe I love very much.Dondakaya or tindora is a widely consumed vegetable and available through out the year. Though we get fresh and tender coccinia/dondakayalu only in December and January months. We get two varieties of them, one is light green colored, thin and long in size and shape. Second one is dark green colored, fat in size and short in shape. Dondakaya crispy fry is a dry curry and can be served as a side dish for rice. Kids too like it very much. Frying the dondakayalu on a low flame till they turn crisp takes longer time.
