About Tendli Bhaat
Tendli means “ivy gourd,” and Bhaat means “rice” in Marathi. Tendli Bhaat (Tondli Bhat) is a popular Maharashtrian rice dish prepared with tendli (ivy gourds), onions, goda masala, and a few more simple ingredients. Its unique taste comes from freshly ground goda masala powder, a popular spice mix from Maharashtra widely used in everyday cooking. Serve it alone for a comforting meal or a bowl of yogurt (dahi) or raita on the side. You can also pack it in school or office lunch boxes. Sprinkle some finely grated fresh coconut over it before serving. Ivy Gourd – Tendli or ivy gourd is easily available at the local Indian grocery stores. Spice Powders – In addition to goda masala powder, you will need turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, and garam masala powder. Adjust the red chili powder as per your taste. Others – You will also need oil, cumin seeds, asafetida (hing), ginger garlic paste, onions, and water.
