Ghosale sukke - As I always buy plenty of ridge gourds from market, I make simple ghossale sukke several times which goes well with rotis. Ridge gourd is a bland vegetable and therefore it is necessary to add flavour and taste to it. When I make this upkari without adding water and cooked it in its own juice, it really turns a tasty side dish.
Here I have flavored the stir fry with tadka, green chilli and freshly grated coconut. Another plus point of this dish is that it can be prepared within few minutes and is very healthy. Whenever I am in a hurry to cook, I make such stir fry and wind up my cooking as fast as I can. Check out another variation of ridge gourd palya which I had posted earlier.

ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Suja.
DeleteOh You don't peel the ridge gourd fully ..Does the peel stuck in teeth while eating ,Just curious ..
ReplyDeleteSathya, what a funny question :) The peel won't stuck between teeth. For that it is need to be cooked very soft and while eating you have to bite and chew it nicely. We make ridge gourd peel chutney too.
