Описание: Beerakai pachadi

Ingredients:

250g ridge gourd (beerakai)
Half an onion
3 garlic cloves
4-5 green chilies
4 stems of curry leaves
Pinch of tamarind
Salt to taste
⁠1/4th tsp jeera
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp channa dal
1 tbsp urad dal
1 tbsp dry coriander seeds
4 red chilies (optional)
Cooking oil

Method:

1. Peel 250g of ridge gourd, including both the skin and the vegetable. Chop half an onion, 3 garlic cloves, 4-5 green chilies, and 4 stems of curry leaves. Add a pinch of tamarind and salt to taste.

2. Dry roast 1 tbsp each of sesame seeds, channa dal, urad dal, and dry coriander seeds, along with 4 red chilies if desired. Grind the sesame seeds first, followed by the rest of the roasted spices.

3. In a kadai, heat oil and sauté the jeera, ridge gourd peels, onion, garlic, and chilies. Add salt, tamarind, and curry leaves. If the mixture becomes dry, add some water.

4. Cook on medium flame until the color changes, about 10-15 minutes. Let it cool for 10-15 minutes.

5. Grind the cooked mixture with the dry roasted spices. Add water as needed; the consistency should be slightly coarse, not a fine paste.
