Ridge gourd Chutney/Peerkangai Thogayal


We make chutney/thogayal with the peel of the ridgegourd,but this chutney is with the the ridge gourd aka Chinese okra.This chutney I noted down long time back telecasted in a T.V show.When I tried the chutney for first time it was  slightly bitter so I stopped making it.When I checked with my mom  she said it may due to the vegetable,sometimes this veggie may be bitter if it is not tender.But when I made yesterday with a tender ridge gourd it came out very perfect.We mixed it with white rice along with a dash of ghee,now off to the recipe........
