I made this Ash Gourd peel chutney for the first time and I totally loved it. And it went well with my dosa. They paired very well 😀
This vegetable is also well known by other names such as winter melon / white pumpkin.And it comes with lot of health benefits as well- Ash gourd’s low calorie, high fiber, and high water contents may help improve your digestion and promote a healthy body weight.
I am very picky when it comes to chutneys, and I loved the flavor of this. Do give it a try, you would definitely love it 😀
You can also have this as thogayal, by simply not adding water while grinding and making it dry. It could be paired with hot steamed rice and ghee. Tastes heaven 😀
