Tips
-
Check the taste of Ridge Gourd and cut them into medium sized pieces.Do not cut then very small ,as they tend to become a paste during cooking

Tender Ridge Gourds are ideal to use
-
Gourds do not need much oil to cook so just a little oil is enough
-
Coconut and Groundnut make the curry mild and sweet, so add Chilli powder as per your choice
-
Consume it fresh,as it may get spoilt quickly in summers
-
Raw coconut tastes better than dry coconut
-
Use less Salt and Spice,if you want to eat with Rotis
