Ridge Gourd Curry with Coconut Milk

Ingredients

Ridge gourd/ Peechinga – 2 big

Onion – 1 medium chopped

Garlic – 2 small crushed

Green chillies – 2 slit

Curry leaves – 2 sprigs

Red chilly flakes – 1 tsp

Turmeric powder – 1 tsp

Thick coconut milk – 1/2 cup

Salt – to taste

Oil – 1 tbsp

Method

Remove the ridges of the gourd, scrape off the excess hard green skin.  Wash the gourd, slit them into four pieces lengthwise and then slice them.  Heat oil in a pan and add crushed garlic.  Fry till the aroma comes out.  Add onions, green chillies and curry leaves.  Fry till the onions turn light brown.  Add chilly flakes and turmeric powder.  Stir and add the sliced ridge gourd.  Add salt and mix well.  Cover and cook on a medium flame till done.  Do not add any water.  Water will ooze out from the gourd.  Evaporate excess water and add the thick coconut milk.  Mix well and switch off the flame immediately.  Delicious ‘Ridge Gourd Curry with Coconut Milk’ goes well with rice.  Cheers!!!
