Indian Squash Vegetable (Tinday ki sabzi)

It is grown in South Asia and is mostly available in summer. South Asian people like to cook it with mutton or beef. It is also cooked with chicken. But standalone it is cooked and is a very delicious and nutritious vegetable.

It contains anti-inflammatory agents known to prevent heart disease, cancer and blood pressure. Indian Squash (tinday) is a high fiber diet and improves digestion and it is also known to slow down the aging process. I personally like it when cooked without meat.

Here I will share my recipe for cooking Indian Squash (tinday) which is mouthwatering and nutritious. I generally cook it on low heat which makes it more delicious.

Here is the recipe, cook, eat and enjoy.
