    Even with all planning, we sometimes face unexpected things, and you are left with no choice but to stop doing something. I faced such a situation and even though I wanted to be prepared, I couldn't do it.

    So getting back to doing this after a gap and am glad I am getting back with a healthy, interesting rice dish. Interesting I say because one would not expect such a combination to happen. When Amma made this for the first time, she sort of gave us a riddle. She wanted us to decipher what went in. The mixed rice was very delicious and all, yet we couldn't point out clearly what all went in!

    Ridge gourd is quite a frequent vegetable at home. We make a pappu, a kura with it. Apart from the regular Thokku with the peel, in fact, I have two chutneys made with the ridge gourd peel.

    Before even going into checking out how to make the various dishes with this vegetable, check out how to peel a Ridge gourd.
