Ridge Gourd which has a scientific name LUFFA is a part of a cucumber family. It is also called Chinese Okra.
I have always made lauki ( Bottle Gourd) with Chana daal but making Turai with moong daal first time & believe me it is a must try recipe. I totally started enjoying this amazing recipe.
Ridge Gourd is a very well known vegetable and commonly called Turai. It has essential components like fiber and water content. Very rich in Vitamin C and B6, also a rich source of iron and magnesium. I have grown turai in my house and I love the yellow flower of turai.
Turai has an amazing taste when cooked with meat. When I was a child my grandmother forced us to eat turai as according to her it was rich in Vitamin A and good for eyesight. My Maa jee used to make lacha paratha and give me small bites , since then I love turai and it’s my husband favourite too.
let’s enjoy this seasonal vegetable.
So I want to share this deliciousness with you all 🥰
It is made with very basic ingredients & spices.
