Peerkangai Thol Thogayal / Ridge gourd skin Chutney/ Peerkangai Thol Chutney

Peerkangai Thol thuvayal / chutney is a chutney we started to prepare, when there were lots of ridge gourds growing in our backyard, since we know for sure there are no insecticides or pesticides in the skin of the veggie...and they tasted great...Many prepare using urad dal only or channa dal only...but we like this combo of toor dal and urad dal better...very healthy way to include fiber in diet.. and taste wise also no compromise..It tastes awesome...Do try and you will surely like it...
