Prepare the Ridge Gourd:
Peel, wash, and grate the turai (ridge gourd). Squeeze out all the excess water completely. This helps prevent sogginess.

Mix the Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained turai with rice, paneer, chilies, ginger, coriander, grated veggies, spices, and chickpea flour. Mix everything well to form a soft, shapeable dough. Adjust besan if the mixture feels too wet.
