Peerkangai Chutney | Ridge gourd Chutney

Peerkangai Chutney
Ridge gourd is rich in beta carotene, dietary fibre, vitamin C, zinc, ribloflavin, iron and magnesium. This vegetable is called Beerakaya in telugu and Peerkangai in tamil. Ridge gourd chutney is a simple and tasty recipe. It can be prepared within 15 minutes. This can be served as a side dish to Idli and dosa. It can also be served with rice. I often prepare Ridgegourd Kootu . Please check below for step by step instructions and pictures for preparing South Indian Peerkangai chutney alias beerakaya chutney.
