Rich in vitamin C, riboflavin, Niacin and many other nutrients Tinda is a healthy option for making curry or sabji. But as much as healthy it is, there are almost equal tinda haters in every family as much as tinda lovers are.

The tanginess of mango pickle adds an achari flavour to tinde ki sabzi. If you are using a tender and fresh small size tinda the curry is ready very quickly as tinda cooks really fast.
