PEERKANGAI CHUTNEY I RIDGE GOURD CHUTNEY I VEGETABLE CHUTNEY RECIPES

Chutneys are very essential and at the same time very tough job to think what chutneys should prepare for breakfast or dinner, isn't it? My mom used to give me vegetables in hidden ways, as am poor eater and always gets scold from my parents and friends… But, these 5-6 years I realized and changed my food habits to intake more healthy veggies and fruits.

Usually, we used to make sambhar or kootu with ridge gourd/Peerkangai, and few months back my mom tried the chutney and it come out really very tasty and big hit at home… J
