Tondli (tondali) chips| Ivygourd (tindora) sun dried wafers

An interesting side dish for the main course .Basically i am not a tindora lover ,but love these sun dried chips .

My mom had got these tondali chips when she had come to hyderabad .

These chips take me back to my childhood days when my grandmother used to make these in summer days (walvan) .

This recipe comes from my mom. this can be served as a tondi lavna with dal rice & pickle.
