Hello all,
This week we had lot of ridge gourd and beans at home. Didn't want to waste them and couldn't find a recipe on the net to cook them together. So here I am, made my own.
This is called by me as Protein stuffed ridge gourd. What is this is nothing but beans ground and filled in ridge gourd and cooked. Did I spill the beans so fast? Read on further...
Ingredients:
Beans : around 200 gms.
Ridge gourd: 1 or 2, enough to make cylindrical shape of 2-3 inches long.
Ground nuts - around 50 gms.
Red chilli - 3
Pepper corns - 7-8
Carrot - 2
Tomatoes - 2
Coriander leaves
Curry leaves
I have made this food without onion and garlic. So you may call it as Jain food. :)
Peel ridge gourd off it's edges on the skin, cut in to cylindrical shapes of 2-3 inches long. Remove the seeds inside and make it hollow. But don't remove too much as much of its nutrition value is in it's core.
In a grinder, grind these together:- Red chilli, Beans -washed and chopped coarsely, pepper corn, ground nuts (we haven't roasted them here), coriander. little masala powder Let this be a paste, not too smooth, not too coarse.
Fill the above paste in to the ridge gourd cylinders.
Chop tomatoes finely.
Grind carrot and some more groundnuts together and make a powder. This gives great colour to the dish along with tomatoes and red chilli powder.
In a pressure cooker, pour 3-4 spoons of oil. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds and curry leaves, as per the custom. Add chopped tomatoes and stir for a while. Add Carrot powder and stir.
Add a pinch each of coriander powder and fenugreek powder. Add a spoon of garam masala and a spoon of red chilli powder. Add Salt as per taste.
Now place the filled ridge gourd in to the pressure cooker. Close the lid and let it whistle two times.
Your protein stuffed ridge gourd is ready!
