Wash the ivy gourd (Tondli) thoroughly and cut each one into thin slices or quarters, lengthwise.
Heat ghee in a large pan or skillet on medium heat.
Add cumin seeds to the ghee and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until they turn aromatic.
Add the sliced ivy gourd to the pan and stir well to coat them with the ghee and cumin seeds.
Sprinkle turmeric powder and red chili powder over the tondli and mix well.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 10-12 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the ivy gourd is tender and lightly golden, add coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix everything well.
