Notes
- Tindora - Discard any pieces that are red on the inside.
- Cooking oil - Use any high-heat index cooking oil, such as avocado, canola, vegetable, or sunflower (to name a few).
- Air frying - If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake the tindora in the oven at 400? for 30 minutes or shallow fry it in a pan.
- The onion - When cooking vegetables, always cook onions just until they turn translucent and are lightly brown on the edges.
- The whole spices - Always add the whole spices in the beginning and temper them for maximum flavor.
- Amchur powder - This should always be added at the end as it loses its sour flavor when cooked for too long.
- The gram flour—This should always be roasted before adding to any curry to eliminate its raw taste. After it's roasted, the gram flour tastes slightly nutty.
