Instructions
Cut ~250grams Ivy Gourd into long slices vertically and without adding any water, pressure cook for 2 whistles on medium flame. Let the pressure drop naturally.
If there is any residual water, drain it and then add it to a mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon gram flour, 1 teaspoon red chilli powder, salt as needed.
Mix well until the spices and gram flour are coated around. Add 1 teaspoon oil and toss the vegetable around.
Meanwhile preheat the air fryer at 180°C for 5 mins. Spread the ivy gourd on the air fryer tray. Set it at 180°C for 12 mins.
After 6 mins, remove and shake the ivy gourd fry once.
After 12 mins, it should be crispy and golden. Remove from the air fryer tray.
Serve hot immediately as side for hot rice, sambar or rasam or curd.
Notes
Adjust spices as per preference. For a less spicer version, use Kashmiri red chilli powder instead of regular chilli powder.
Add ½ tablespoon of rice flour for added crispness.
