Beerakaaya Thokku Pachadi | Ridged Gourd Skin Chutney is sizzling spicy and yum with steamed rice. I am a Sardarni but having been born and lived in Andhra, my taste buds are more attuned to the south Indian delicacies. Andhra is the place of the hottest chilli and the food here is also very spicy. Every meal starts off with a pickle or freshly made pachadi or chutney. I buy beerakaya (called Ridge Gourd in English and Turai in Hindi) only because I want to make this pachadi as the bland sabzi is not what I like. It is a delicious, traditional chutney with the peel. Called Beerakaya Thokku Pachadi or Beerakaya Pottu Pachadi in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, this unique chutney is normally eaten with rice and ghee.

How to make Beerakaaya Thokku Pachadi
Mix a dollop of pachadi with hot steamed rice that is drizzled liberally with ghee; foodporn totally! Beerakaya pachadi only needs a few ingredients like cumin, garlic, green chillies and tamarind to make a paste. Then add the tempering for a fiery feast.

Today I am sharing a unique recipe of tangy, spicy chutney made with the skin of the ridged gourd (which is usually thrown away) which is full of fiber.
