let’s start achari tinday recipe

Masala bharay tinday that most people like and want to eat always turns out so delicious. Come on let’s give it a tangy and spicy touch of achar. Here I am using achar masala ingredients and a little bit of real achar. so mouth watering.  I have started releasing my saliva while writing this. 

Let’s start cooking. Oh, I mean have a look at recipe insight and what we need to start cooking this tantalizing dish of achar masala bharay tinday or achari tinday. 

Preparation of achar masala:

Fenugreek seeds 1 tsp

Mustard seeds 1tsp

chilli flakes 1 tbsp

Fennel seeds 1 tsp

Coriander seeds 1 tsp

Black seeds 1tsp

Salt 1/2 tsp

For preparation of achar masala we need mostly the ingredients of achar masala except oil or vinegar. We have to take Fenugreek seeds,  Mustard seeds, Fennel seeds, coriander seeds, black seeds as a whole without crushing it. We should clean them first by hand. So that there should be no stones or anything extra. you can wash them, then dry to free them from debris. Now after washing and cleaning dry roast on low flame for 3-5 min. Keep stirring. After this whole masala roast let it cool for 2-3 minutes and pour in your grinder. Very fine grinding is not recommended but it’s up to your taste. I use this as a little granular. After grinding add chilli flakes, salt and mix. But if you have whole, round red chilies then add them in your mixer and keep it little flaked.

Preparation of filling for masala bharay tinday:

Onion chopped 1/4 cup

Ginger garlic paste 1 tbsp

Turmeric powder 1/2 tbsp

Salt to taste

Oil 3 tbsp

1 tsp Pickle chopped

For making a filling aur bharwan masala we will take two medium size onions, chop it into very small pieces. Make ginger and garlic paste. For making ginger garlic paste grind 10 cloves of garlic and about 1 inch piece of peeled ginger. All this paste and chopped onion will not be used in this step. We will only  use 1 tsp of paste and 2 tbsp of chopped onion. Rest will be used in making gravy.

For making the filling, take oil in a pan let it hot for 5 min then add onion 3 tbsp saute it till onion gets translucent on low flame. Then add 1 tbsp of ginger garlic paste and saute till colour gets golden. Add salt, chilli powder and chopped achar. 

How to cut tinday ki sabzi for filling:

For this recipe we have to be a bit careful in cutting off teeday or apple gourds. We will not cut it into halves or quarters. Instead we make a plus sign on the lower portion of tinday and cut only half the length of each tinday or apple gourd. This is how we can fill up the achar masala and keep them off from mixing in the gravy. As a result you will get a good presentation. 

Filling in apple gourd:

For filling, hold apple gourd one by one in your hand and press gently to open a little and fill with masala. You can use a knife for filling. Be careful not to press too tight so the apple gourd breaks. You can use your thumb to make some space.

preparation of gravy:

4-5 tbsp Oil

1/2 tsp Salt

1/2 tsp Chili powder

1 tbsp Achar masala

Leftover of filling

Tomato puree 1 cup

Onion (sliced) 3/4 cup

Ginger garlic paste 1 tbsp

Paprika Powder 1 tbsp

turmeric powder 1 tsp

For making gravy take oil and add remaining chopped onion, saute and add 1tbsp (remaining) garlic and roast to make golden brown. At this stage add salt, turmeric powder, paprika powder and saute for 1 min. Now add one cup of chopped tomatoes. If you like more spice then add black pepper 1tbsp. My family don’t like spice so I don’t use it. Add any leftover filling masala in this gravy. 

When water starts separating from tomato paste add freshly prepared achar masala powder. Cook it in medium flame for 10-12 min until oil separates. Add water and again cook for 15 min on low flame. Keep stirring occasionally.

Steam filled apple gourd or cooking tinday in gravy:

After 10 min place apple gourd in the gravy and cover the lid. Cook for 30-40 minutes on low flame so that the tinday gets softened.
