Thank you Nithya!
Thanks Mullai,never knew that we can use the skin as well,can I add mustard seed ?
after making this thuvayal, any way use the vegetable inside:-)?sorry i really don’t know. I used to make thuvayal with the vegetable and throw the skin. but i dont like that thuvayal that much with vegetable, bcoz it used to sweet. but i like the peeled skin thuvayal though., pls let me know what to do with the veggie inside…no need a recipe as such, just give me an idea as to what can be made!
thanks in advance
Add it to sambar, kootu curry, make plain ridge gourd curry. Check the index for more ridge gourd recipes.
