Peerkangai (Ridge gourd) kulambu recipe with step by step pictures
Peerkangai kulambu is a tasty kulambu recipe and very easy to cook recipe. Whenever i was bored of making sambar or dal dishes, i would go for this. I have added Coconut paste alone for thickening in this recipe, you can add some roasted Peanuts while grinding Coconut and it will gives you nice flavour. I have already posted Ridge gourd fry and Ridge gourd kootu recipes, check out that too. This kulambu is not thick nor thin, it is in semi gravy consistency.
