Ridge Gourd Milk Chutney/Pachadi

 

This Pachadi is little bit different in taste than regular Chutneys and it is very easy to make. My mom makes this chutney very often because my family likes this chutney very much. We can eat this chutney with hot rice.

 

Ingredients:

• 1 Ridge gourd (Beerakaya)
• 1 Green Chili
• ¼ cup warm milk
• Salt
• Seasoning ingredients:
• ½ tsp. Oil
• ½ tsp. Mustard seeds
• ¼ tsp. Cumin seeds
• ¼ tsp. Urad dal
• 1 pinch Hing
• Few Curry leaves

Procedure:

• Dice the Ridge guard in to small cubes (no need to peel the Ridge guard skin).

• Heat the wide pan and add oil.
• Once the oil is warm then put Ridge guard pieces in the pan.
• Cook it with little salt, green chilies and few drops of water.
• Put a lid and cook it well.
• Once Ridge guard pieces are well cooked then switch off the heat; keep it aside for cool down.
• Then blend the cooked Ridge guard pieces with milk.
• Take into a serving dish and put the seasoning.
• Serve with hot rice with little ghee.
