This chutney very easy to make i learnt from one of my friends and it was in my book of recipes i collect, i do not remember who taught me this...!!, well its quite nice and delicious too...here is the recipe...
RIDGE GOURD CHUTNEY
Ingredients:
- 1 Medium sized Ridge gourd
- 2 Green chillies
- 1 pod garlic
- 1 small onion or shallot
- 2 to 3 sprig coriander leaves
- salt to taste
- 1 or 2 flakes of tamarind
- 2 tbsp of fresh grated coconut
Seasoning:
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 tsp chenna dal
- 1 tsp urad dal
- 1 Dry Red chilli (optional)
- 1 sprig curry leaves
METHOD:
- Scrape out the skin of the Ridge Gourd, wash it once, if they are not tender then you have to scoop out the seeds from the middle of the vegetable otherwise you can just cut it into small bits and use it just like that.
- The other way is you can cut into small pieces & cook the Ridge gourd and use it.
- Then with all the other ingredients grind them into chutney consistency !!
- Take a wok, heat oil, and throw in all the seasoning ingredients and season your chutney with it. serve it with hot rice or however u want.
PS: I have used only 2 green chillies as they were quite hot, balance your chillies with tamarind so they give a good taste to the dish.
