My liking for chutneys started when I was pregnant with my first kid. In that phase I used to ask my mom and mom-in-law to make chutneys often and I end up eating my whole meal only with those chutneys without any other side dish. My hubby too is a chutney(roti pachadi) lover, so its mandatory for me to make chutney/pachadi every other day. I personally like veggies chutneys than pickle varieties.
So, today i have made Ridge gourd chutney(beerakaya pachadi as we call in telugu). This pachadi is similar to Dondakaya Pachadi that I have already posted here in this blog. You can anytime make this chutney in a jiffy. This pachadi is a wonderful side dish for rice,idli,dosa,phulkas and rotis as well.
Do checkout the recipe and try it. :))
