Do you throw away the skin peel of ridge gourd? They are extremely rich in dietary fiber and low in calories. Do not throw them away. You can make this easy and tasty chutney which is great with any south Indian breakfast.
It goes well any idli, dosa. Here are few more options from my blog.
Ingredients:
Ridge Gourd Peel : Skin Peel from one large gourd
Grated coconut : 2 tablespoons
Onion : 1/3 of a large
Tamarind : a very small piece
Green Chili : 2 small
Salt : as needed
Water : as needed
Oil : 1 1/2 teaspoons
Mustard seeds : 1/4 teaspoon
Urad dal : 1/4 teaspoon
Curry leaves : Few
Method:
- Heat oil in a pan, when hot add mustard seeds, urad dal. When it turn golden color, add curry leaves.
- Next add the onions. Saute for 2 to 3 mins. Add the ridge gourd skin peel, tamarind and saute for 5 mins.
- It would get cooked in 5 mins, next stop and add the grated coconut. Mix well, it gets cooked in the heat of the pan and stove.
- Let it cool.
- When it cools down, in a mixer, grind the above with salt and water. Use water as per chutney consistency.
Easy thugayal is ready. Serve with idli/dosa.

Even I make it without the onion. Yes, a favorite in the house. The only downside is sometimes, the ridge gourd is of the bitter variety; do you know of any way to predict that?

Apsara, I choose those gourds which when we poke, a slight liquid oozes out(looks like aloe vera) and the outer looks greenish. These are quite fresh and never went wrong in taste for me. Hope it helps.

I have heard of it but never tried, thinking it will be bitter. Your approval has made me try some dishes that I normally would avoid. When all of you say it is good it’s time to make it.

We made this a couple of times Malar and in a surprisingly similar way. I don’t remember if we added tamarind to it. But thanks for reminding this long forgotten recipe.
