Ridgegourd paruppu kadaiyal
I learnt this Chettinad style recipe from a cookery show. What really stands out is the seasoning - be generous about it. The small onions, garlic and cumin seeds give the bland ridgegourd, a tasty spin. Serve it with hot steamed rice with ghee, a spicy thogaiyal/chutney or even a roasted pepper paapad.
