Beerakaya pachadi/Ridge gourd chutney

Sometimes we get bored of same vegetable curries.  To try something different we can make chutney instead of curry with the same ingredients. Today  I am going to show you how to make ridge gourd chutney.

Ingredients:
1 long ridge gourd
2 tomatoes
2 garlic gloves
1/2 spoon coriander seeds
1/2 spoon cumin seeds
1 gram tamarind
4 stems of coriander leaves
3 spoons oil
Green chilies
Salt for taste

Method:

1. Chop ridge gourd and tomatoes into medium size pieces. Then heat the pan, add oil, add chopped ridge gourd, green chilies and coriander seeds. Let it fry for 10 minutes.


2. After 10 minutes add tomatoes to the pan and fry until it turns to brown color. If you add tomatoes first they will not let ridge gourd to fry because of the juice that will come out of them.


3. Let the mixture to cool for 10 minutes and add it to the blender.  Add cumin seeds, coriander leaves, garlic gloves, tamarind and salt.


4. Blend until mixture turns to fine paste and serve with rice. While having chutney with rice if you add little bit of ghee you feel like you are in the heaven. Trust me.
