Tips and Tricks
- Choose fresh and tender Ridge Gourd for the best results. Look for gourds that are soft, with no visible blemishes or spots.
- You can peel the outer skin of the Ridge Gourd if desired, although it is not necessary. Peeling the skin can make the dish more visually appealing.
- Adjust the quantity of green chillies and red chilli powder according to your spice preference. Add more or less depending on how spicy you want the dish to be.
- If you like a tangy flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of dry mango powder (amchur) towards the end of cooking.
- For a richer taste, you can add a tablespoon of ghee along with the oil while tempering the cumin seeds.
- Ensure that the Torai pieces are evenly chopped for even cooking. You can cut them into small rounds or cubes, whichever you prefer.
- Feel free to garnish the dish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving. It adds a fresh and vibrant touch to the dish.
