Instructions for Andhra Dondakaya Ulli Kura Karam Recipe | Dondakaya Poriyal | Kovakkai Curry

    1

    To begin making Andhra Dondakaya Ulli Kura Karam Recipe, prep all the ingredients and keep them ready.

    2

    Place the cut Dondakaya in the pressure cooker, sprinkle salt along with 2 tablespoons water and pressure cook for 2 whistles. 

    3

    Turn off the heat after 2 whistles and open the pressure cooker immediately by releasing the weight with the fork or placing the cooker under cold running water.

    4

    This is to ensure we don't overcook the Dondakaya/ Tindora. Keep this aside.

    5

    Next step is the roast and grind the masala.

    6

    Heat a small pan over medium heat; add the chana dal and urad dal and roast until they change color.

    7

    Once they are turning a little brown, add the methi seeds, coriander seeds, sesame seeds, cumin seeds, red chillies. Stir for about a minute until they begin to release the aromas.

    8

    Once done, turn off the heat and allow the roasted masala to cool.

    9

    Once cooled, add the masala, the roasted peanuts and tamarind to a small jar of the mixer grinder, add blend to make a powder. Grind this without any water. Keep this aside.

    10

    The final step is to now put together everything for the Andhra Dondakaya Ulli Kura Karam.

    11

    Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan, over medium heat; add the mustard seeds and allow it to crackle.

    12

    Once done, stir in the asafoetida and curry leaves for a few seconds.

    13

    Add the cooked Dondakaya / Tendli/ Tindora and the ground roasted masala. Give it a stir to combine it well.

    14

    Cover the pan and turn the heat to low and cook the Dondakaya Ulli Kura Karam for about 10-15 minutes so that all the flavours get well absorbed to bring in a delicious taste. Check the salt and adjust according to taste.

    15

    Once done, turn off the heat and transfer the Andhra Dondakaya Ulli Kura Karam to a serving bowl and serve hot.

    16

    Serve Andhra Dondakaya Ulli Kura Karam Recipe along with Steamed Rice Recipe, and Andhra Style Bendakaya Charu Recipe for a delicious lunch or dinner.
