Instructions

- Add the cut Tendli into the vessel and add the water, salt, vinegar, sugar, turmeric powder, chilliy powder, mix it until all the tendli gets coated with all the spices, cover the vessel and allow it to cook on low heatNote:Salt helps in releasing the moisture from the vegetables. But since tendli doesn't contain alot of water, we add water while making tendli bhaji
- After about 10 minutes, take off the lid and give it a stir and check if there's enough of water, cover the vessel and let it cook further
- After about 10 minutes, take the lid off and check if the tendli is ready. If the Tendli is ready, add the chopped coriander, turn up the heat to high, give it a stir and allow it to cook until all the water evaporates.The Tendli Test: 1) Once the Tendli is ready, it will change color to light green. 2) The inside of the tendli will turn glassy/transparent
- Once all the water evaporates, turn off the heat.Enjoy this super simple, tangy tendli bhaji with Hot Chapatis or as a side dish with your regular Rice and Curry.
