I was delighted to see tinde in our local market and after I got home with them, my kids started to bombard me with questions. “What is this and who eats these GREEN BALLS,MOM?? It was a Deja vu moment for me – the younger me, asking the same questions to my mom. With a calm smile, I answered, “We are going to eat these”. And my ears were all ready to hear what was going to come next.. a big EWWW!! That very moment I knew, I had to prepare this recipe as per their taste buds. So Mom on a mission to make her kids eat TINDAY!! 😉 RECIPE DETAIL – Tinda Masala Recipe is a simple and easy vegan recipe that is cooked in onion-tomato gravy.
