Title: TINDORI or TINDOLA or TINDOORI
Post by: Lord-Bubbles on May 19, 2008, 11:41 AM

Hello Curry Lovers,
Please can anyone give me a simple recipe using tindori.  They are a small asian bitter cucumber like gourd.  I believe they have various names throughout Asia and the Far East.  My local supermarket now sells thems but I have only ever seen them pickled.  I believe they can be cooked as a vegetable dish too.
Over to you.
Thank you, Lord Bubbles

hi lord bubbles,  in the introduction of the kushi balti book, he mentions a cucumber like vegetable he uses when cookng a meal for some people he met off the beaten track( i think they were tiger spotters)well he was in india, he used it just like a vegetable in the "balti style dish" for a dopioza. but he did not provide a recipe for it and he never found or used it again, sorry can't help more than that. although would suggest a more authentic style curry and not BIR.

regards
gary
