Ridge gourd (ಹೀರೆಕಾಯಿ / तुराइ ) chutney

Another recipe, I tried last week, and got great feedback from my friends... Taught by mum, modified by me... (like most of my recipes! :-) )

Name Ridge gourd peel chutney Complexity Level Easy Duration of preparation 20 minutes Serves 6 - 10

Ingredients:

Ridge gourd peels	(From ½ kg Ridge gourd)
Tomato	1
Grated coconut	1 tbsp
Jeera	1 tsp
Dhaniya powder	2 tsp
Red chillies	5-7
Pepper powder	1 tsp
Tamarind	¼ size of a TT ball
Salt	To taste

Method of preparation:

For those who are unfamiliar with the English name Ridge gourd, it is called ಹೀರೆಕಾಯಿ in Kannada and तुराइ in Hindi. Normally, most people remove the peel of turai when they prepare curry. These peels can be used for making this chutney

Boil the peels, and the tomato, in water for 15 minutes, and cool them. Grind them with the rest of the ingredients in a mixer grinder, with appropriate amount of water, so that the chutney becomes a fine paste.

ಹೀರೆಕಾಯ (तुराइ ) chutney is ready. Goes very well with both with chapathi and rice.
