Hello, friends, and food lovers! Today is Meatless Monday and I would like to share a healthy delicious recipe with you. This recipe is made from locally grown ridge gourd vegetables, which are rich in vitamin A, iron, and antioxidants. They are also helpful in controlling sugar levels, purifying blood, and improving skin texture, the cellulose natural fibers present in them help in the digestive system. In addition, ridge gourd is a great source of potassium and magnesium, which promote a healthy heart. This dish can be used as a side dish or eaten alone as part of a dietary plan. There are many ways to prepare ridge gourd, but I will be showing you a simple and healthy way to prepare this vegetable. We'll be enjoying it together with homemade chapati or roti.
ingredients:
3 medium-sized ridge gourds of around 500 grams
1 onion
1 green chili
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp split pigeon peas
2 tsp organic coconut oil
2 tbsp freshly grated coconut.
1/4 tsp turmeric.
To prepare the ridge gourd, first clean it properly and then peel off the ridges. After that, chop it into small bite-sized pieces.
Heat a pan add 2 tsp oil.
Add chopped onion and green chili.
Stir the mixture until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the soaked split yellow lentils/split pigeon peas to the mixture and stir well.
Add ridge gourd bits in.
Add salt and turmeric and mix well to coat all the ridge gourd pieces.
Pour 1/2 cup of water and cook it.
Add freshly grated coconut and mix well. Cook until the ridge gourd is tender.
thank you.
