RIDGE GOURD/ HEERE KAAYI/ GOSALE SHEERE CHUTNEY

During my younger days I remember my Mom used to prepare all sorts of curry, sweets, 

savoury that normally GSB people prepare. Ekpani Chutney, Gosale sheere Chutney, and so

many dishes that I still remember. Here, my father-in-law had his own choices and my mother-

in-law prepared the dishes according to his taste. He ate coconut based curries very less. When

 I came here after my marriage, my mother-in-law started preparing dishes of my choices as

well. She even prepared this Gosale sheere Chutney once when we got Ridge gourd in

 the market. Those days it was difficult to get some varieties of vegetables. But these days we

get plenty of them, all types of vegetables. Yesterday I bought one long Ridge gourd from

the market and I made 4 curries with one Ridge gourd. So, here is the recipe of the

 chutney, made with its peel Ie, rough edges.
