Ridge gourd(Peerkangai) fry recipe with step by step pictures
Peerkangai (ridge gourd) poriyal is an accompainment for vegetarian meal. I often cook peerkangai in my kootu recipes. But When I tasted this peerkangai poriyal recipe, i felt that this tastes even better than kootu. When i cooked this recipe for the very first time, i have added water while cooking and my dish just spoiled. Then my friend gave this recipe that not to add water, the vegetable itself oozes water. I have tried it and came out soo good. This recipe turned to one of my day to day recipes. Hope you like it and try this out.
Enjoy the food!
