Beerakaya Allam PachiMirchi Karam Kura/Ridgegourd Curry Flavored with Ginger-Chilly Paste

This is another simple and delicious curry we can make with RidgeGourd.The sweetness of the tender ridgegourd blends in very well with the spiciness of crushed ginger and chilly.You would surely love to make this again.Even kids will love to eat this with rice and a touch of ghee.

Let us see how we make this simple Ridgegourd curry------------


Main Ingredients :
----------------------
Tender RidgeGourd....................2(large)
Ginger........................................1inch
Green Chilly...............................2

Seasoning Ingredients :
-----------------------------
Canola Oil...............................1tbsp
Mustard Seeds........................1/2tsp
Turmeric.................................1/8tsp
Salt.........................................to taste

Garnish :
------------
Cilantro.........................few leaves(finely chopped)

Preparation :
-----------------
Rinse the ridgegourd , ginger and chilly under cold water.Now peel the ridgegourd and cut into 1inch length pieces.Place a pan on the stove on medium high heat and add oil to it.Once the oil heats up add mustard seeds and let them pop then add the cut ridgegourd and turmeric to the pan and let cook for few minutes.


While the ridgegourd is cooking , take ginger and chilly in a mortar and pestle and crush them to small pieces.


Once the ridgegourd is tender and cooked add the crushed ginger and chilly along with salt and stir well and let cook for 1 more minute.

Finally garnish the curry with cilantro.


Delicious and healthy Ridgegourd Curry Flavored with Ginger Chilly Paste is ready to be served with hot rice or rotis.


Note :
----------
1) Always check the ridge gourd for bitterness before you cook.If it tastes bitter do not use it.

2) Do not throw the ridgegourd peel , you can use it to make chutney,dosa etc.

3) Ridgegourd is a watery vegetable so while cooking it retains water,if you do not want your curry to be watery add a spoon of rice flour to thicken the curry.(I did not use any rice flour in the curry).
