Beerakaya Pachadi Recipe, Ridge Gourd Chutney

                  Beerakaya pachadi recipe is an Andhra pachadi or chutney recipe made using beerakaya vegetable also called turai in Hindi and is a popular ridge gourd chutney. This peerkangai chutney which is made using ridge gourd tastes so delicious that it goes well with white rice and in Andhra style, people mix rice, ghee and chutney together and eat it...

Some more interesting pachadi or chutney recipes:

• Dosakaya Pachadi 
• Mango Pachadi

                 This andhra style beerakaya pachadi can also be made with its pottu or thokku(skin) and I never thought that a delicious chutney could be made even using the skin(thokku) of a vegetable like turai.

                 The beerakaya pachadi recipe requires few ingredients to make and also a tempering lastly and can be stored in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days and have it along with dals and meals.

                    Every meal in south india or in andhra includes a vegetable chutney and I am so happy to share various chutney recipes with my blog readers.

                     Every recipe is tried and tasted by me and I never share any recipe which does not turn out well. I like to make chutney recipes with vegetables and chutneys that are commonly made are vankaya pachadi/chutney, dondakaya chutney, dosakaya chutney, sorakaya pachadi etc...

                  I am so glad to learn various food cultures from south indian regions and staying in Hyderabad has helped me in learning amazing recipes from andhra pradesh which includes various breakfast recipes, lunch ideas and dinner ideas.

                 Here in this recipe I have chopped the beerakaya into slices and sauteed them along with few ingredients and blended into a chutney or pachadi. Finally, the beerakaya chutney flavors are lifted by the aromatic tempering...

       This particular chutney is so good that it does not need any other dish along with it. The chutney is enough to complete our meal with roti or rice.
