My 2nd son is so particular how I make my Tindora or Kovaikkai poriyal even how I cut it. It is one of his favourite vegetable. I have posted my regular Tindora Fry / poriyal in my early days of blogging. My mum always does this version of Tindora poriyal with Chickpea. Last time when we visited her she made this version and my son liked it. This is one of my favourite version too I can mix it with Rice too. It is perfect for lazy day. I had 1 cup of cooked Chickpea so I have used it. If you don’t soak it over night and cook it for this recipe
