This is my favourite podi. I love to have this with hot rice :)
When ever i peel ridge gourd i will peel the entire skin, so that i will get more powder when i make this.
I want you to experience the taste of this one, so guys prepare it at least once.
Preparation time : 40 mins
Serves : 2
Ingredients:
Skin of 2 ridge gourds
Urad dal : 1/4 tsp
Mustard seeds : 1/4 tsp
Cumin seeds : 1/4 tsp
Garlic cloves : 8 to 15
Red chili : 4 to 6
Salt to taste
Method:
Peel off ridge gourd skins and wash them thoroughly. Don't let them sit in water, just wash them with water.
Cut the peels into 2" pieces, and grind them into paste (not too coarse or not too smooth) with out adding water.
Take a pan, heat it , add 1tbsp of oil.
Add urad dal, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, cut red chili and garlic cloves.
I love to add more garlic , as it give nice taste to the dish.
Once urad dal and garlic turns to golden brown in color, add the paste you prepared and add salt to taste.
Keep your flame in medium high.
Now you should be patient till all the moisture from that evaporates and it becomes powder.
It will take around 20 to 30 mins approx.
After around 20 mins your powder will be ready.
Serve it with hot rice.
Believe me it is such a yummy dish and it is having lots of fiber in it :)
It will stay fresh in fridge for one week and if you don't add garlic to the dish it will stay fresh in outside for 4 to 5 days.
Mix it with rice and enjoy :)
