Ridge gourd gravy (Peerkangai kuruma) - Preparation time 15 to 20 mins
I got few recipes of ridge gourd gravy from friends, relatives and browsing. I made few modifications in the recipe to make it as kuruma for chapathi or roti. Actually it tasted good and different. The vegetable (peerkangai) will be difficult to identified because in this recipe the skin of the vegetable will be peeled completely.
