Ribbed Gourd, also known as peerkankai in Tamil is a wonderful gourd that can be cooked in many ways. We can make chutney with the skin and pulp. My mom makes kootu (kind of dal) with this vegetable. Today I cooked finely chopped ribbed gourd with chopped onion and lots of chopped green chili as a side dish served with rice. It would be a great accompaniment for roti too.
Ingredients:
1 large onion, chopped
2-3 medium size ribbed gourd
3-4 green chili, chopped
salt to taste
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
2 teaspoons oil
Method:
1. Chop onion. Peel the gourd and chop into small pieces.
2. Heat oil in a pan to medium heat. Temper mustard seeds, urad dal, chopped green chili and curry leaves. Add onion and cook till translucent. Stir in turmeric powder. Add gourd and cook for few minutes, stirring occasionally. Add salt to taste. Cook till gourd is soft. Serve with rice or roti.
