Whether you’re looking for a healthy snack, appetizer, or a side dish, this tindora recipe is all you need.
Air fryer tindora is a delightful dish with a crispy outside and a soft inside, seasoned with a mix of spices and herbs, including onions, curry leaves, urad dal, and more. This mouthwatering recipe incorporates the flavors and textures of onions, curry leaves, urad dal, and a medley of other traditional spices.
I love having this as a side dish with rice and rasam, or curd rice. Of course, it’s also great on its own or with chapatis. Once you try this recipe, I bet you’ll want to make it over and over again. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
