ABOUT Ridge Gourd and Coriander Chutney (Beerakai Kothimira pacchadi) RECIPE

My mother always insisted that we do not waste food. This has had a deep impression on me. I try to ensure that I cook whatever is required for me and my family and judiciously use the various food ingredients. I decided to use these ridge gourd pieces to make Ridge gourd and coriander chutney.
