Peerkangai Masiyal/Ridge gourd Masiyal


We make mostly,either kootu or sambar with Peerkangai aka ridge gourd/Chinese okra.But this masiyal was a new to me when saw it in a regional magazine and its a Kongunadu special.
One of my friend also suggested and mostly its made with dhal.But this recipe is quite different and no dhal is used,even no need of any spice powders.But here I used little red chilly powder,as I was not sure about the spiciness of the green chilly.I made this masiyal and paired up with white rice,raw banana fry for a comforting meal.The original recipe calls for shallots and tried withboth shallots and onion but tastes better with shallots.Off to the recipe...........................
