Ridge gourd in english is Heerekayi in kannada.  We prepare a host of dishes with this yummy veggie.  Ridge gourd is a healthy veggie and is sweet to taste and is extremely rich in fiber and enriched with all vital elements that include vitamin C , zinc, iron, magnesium, and traces of other minerals.  It is low in fat, cholesterol, and calories that aids in weight loss. This green vegetable is great for summer.  It is particularly good for the stomach and easy to digest and so have this for dinner to avoid digestion related problems during night.  We prepare poriyal, sasmi and also sambar using thiS veggie.

PROCEDURE: Wash, pat dry ridge gourd and slit into plus mark only on one side as shown so that it does not reach the bottom as we need to fill masala in it.

Add this to the blender and powder coarse.  Dry roast peanut and also powder coarse and keep it aside.  Dry roast gurellu and powder it coarse and keep it aside. Fry chopped onions till wilted and keep it aside as we need to mix it with filling masala.  To a bowl add powdered copra mix, peanut powder, gurellu powder, turmeric powder, jaggery, salt tamarind juice and also fried onions and a little coriander leaves and mix well with your hands. Fill in the masala into the ridge gourd pieces as shown in the video and place it in a plate.  
     Place a wide pan with 4 tsp cooking oil in it on medium flame.  On heating switch to low and add mustard seeds to it.  Once it crackles, add mustard, cumin and let it crackle.  Add chopped onion, curry leaves and  little salt and fry well till translucent.  Place masala filled ridge gourd pieces and give a stir.  Add the rest of the masala and mix till combined and add water, wash the bowl and cover and cook till little wilted.
