I love ridge gourd. I have always made it, but without coconut with some julliane of ginger to give it a north indian touch. But I am going to try with coconut now.
Could u pls forward me the dry version of your recipe for Ridge gourd, also if you have a chutney recipe of Ridge gourd.

I was surfing the net because I was looking for a picture of ridge vegetable. And I stumble to this website. Now I have an idea how to cook this vegetable. Thanks!

hiIndira ,ur site is very colour full and contain simple recipies. just tell me can i avoid garlic in the recipies as we dont use much of garlic.

Indira replies:
I guess you can do that, give it a try to findout how you like the recipes without garlic. But adjust other seasonings to your taste.
Let me know if you try, thanks Parvathi.

Hi Indira,

I must say your recipes are absolutely fail-proof… everything I’ve tried so far has turned out great at the 1st attempt… I just ensured that I followed all the steps & ingredient measurements accurately…. just brilliant.. i made this ridge-gourd curry for dinner today… yummy… hubby & me loved it… was planning to make avocado chapati (your recipe again) to go with it.. but just didn’t have the time.. plan on doing that tomorrow.. hope u had a nice weekend…

Indira replies:
Thanks Meera and wish you the same for a nice, joyful weekend.

Hi Indira, i prepared this curry at home yesterday and me and my hubby really liked it. Infact i had never had this vegetable becoz of its looks.
but after making your recipe, it is surely going to be a regular buy from now on.Thank you.

I’m glad that you tried and liked this veggie, Priya. You must try my favorites, I blogged- ridge gourd with milk and the other with potato and carrot. I’m sure you are going to like them too.

Sorry about bitter gourd chips. Once you start the broil setting, you have to watch them like hawk, they turn black very fast.

hi indira,
i made this today. This is the first time iam making ridge gourd . I had the same question what nidhi had but then from the picture i got the idea.The curry was good, totally different from the usual curries i make. And i also made bittergourd chips, and that was a flop show.Everything was ok until i broiled it for a little longer time and it was all burned shall try it next time. thanx again for the recipes indira.

Hello Everyone,
I have never used Ridged Groud. How do you clean the skin? Do you peel the ridges and when its level, you scrape it?
Nidhi

Indira replies…
Hello Nidhi, just scrape or peel like you do with cucumber or bottle gourd etc.,. Scrape the ridges completely and litte bit of the green skin but not all. See other posts in ridge gourd category, you can find more images of ridge gourd to give you an idea. Hope this helps.< ?I>
