Ingredients
- 250 grams Ridge gourd
- 2 Drumsticks
- 2 Chillies
- 2 Onions medium-sized
- 1 tsp Red chilli powder
- Salt as per taste
- Oil 1 tbsp
Instructions
- Wash all the vegetables thoroughly in running water.
- Finely chop the onions.
- Peel and coarsely chop the ridge gourd.
- Partially peel the drumsticks and cut into 2 ½ inch pieces and keep aside.
- Take oil in pan and heat it. Now add onions, green chillies and curry leaves and sauté till the onions become soft.
- Now add the chopped ridge gourd and mix well.
- Add salt and cook on a medium flame with the lid closed.
- This type of cooking brings all the water out of the vegetable and the curry is cooked in the same water till soft.
- When the salt is added and you cook the vegetable with the lid closed, the water from the vegetable oozes out and it helps in better cooking of the vegetable.
- You need not add a single drop of water for these water rich veggies. Once all the water oozes out, add drum sticks and again cook well with the lid closed till ¾ of the water is gone.
- Now add chilli powder and mix well. Cook for 2 more minutes and turn off the flame.
