This weeks lunch is simply a gravy and a vegetable stir fry. I have used peerkangai in gravy which vegetable is not often used in this way. Do try this unique recipe to include this.
I have not seen many people buying this vegetable - Ridge gourd. I have no idea why, but I buy often and make it as a gravy.
This gravy is simple to make yet flavorful and unique too! There are few common recipes with ridge gourd like thogayal or kootu, but this gravy is a trademark recipe I learnt from my mom.
And when I came here and made it for Vj he totally loved it. And last year when in laws came here and I made this, to my surprise FIL loved it too.
He asked me what it is, as he liked it very much. If you have not tried it yet, I would highly recommend to try this for rice and give a break for the usual sambar/ kuzhambu.
