While this dish does have other spices and seeds, saunf is undoubtedly the hero of the show! It proves itself as a perfect flavouring for tinda. Fennel seeds are used generously in this Tinda aur Saunf ki Subzi, both in the tempering as well as in the special tomato-based masala paste.

You will enjoy the tangy overtones of tomato and the spiky flavour and aroma of fennel in this recipe, all of which add a splash of excitement to round gourd. Khoya is added to balance the flavour and give a rich texture to this subzi. Easily made in the Microwave oven, this is a great combo for any Rotis .
