Apple Gourd or Tinday Fry is a simple fry and is way too flavourful and aromatic. It is a squash like cucurbit grown mainly for it's immature Fruit. Also known as Round Gourd or Indian Baby Pumpkin.
An easy one pot dish for any day by me made in a pan that too in a jiffy. This Vegetarian dish can be relished with both Rice and Rotis. Made with easily available pantry staples, this is one of the most simplest dish too. Almost every Week, I do make it a point to go with one for mealtimes especially on a Weekend or even for the Lunchbox as long as it's available.

Though the preparation process might seem too simple or easy, what matters is the taste. And it does taste yum. The best part is that it gets done quickly too. Absolutely delicious to the last bite. This dish is for keepsake. You will love it every bit and would want to make it more and more.

This one is my family's favourite. Try it out and experience it's unique taste and texture for yourselves. As it belongs to Gourd family, it might be little bland but addition of some extra bit of spices would do the work.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
