Doctors recommend ridge gourd–cucumber chutney as beneficial for health

To prepare ridge gourd and cucumber chutney, take one large ridge gourd, one large cucumber, 100 grams of green chilies, 10 garlic cloves, one tablespoon cumin seeds, one tablespoon coriander seeds, a small quantity of tamarind, salt to taste, a pinch of turmeric, and some fresh coriander leaves. For tempering, keep ready two tablespoons of oil, one tablespoon mustard seeds, one tablespoon urad dal, one tablespoon chana dal, two dried red chilies, curry leaves, asafoetida, and a little seasoning salt.

Heat a pan and add oil, then sauté cumin seeds, coriander seeds, green chilies, and garlic paste. Add chopped ridge gourd pieces and fry until slightly soft. Then add cucumber pieces with turmeric and cook for a few minutes without overcooking. Soak tamarind and extract pulp. Once the mixture cools, grind it with salt and tamarind to a slightly coarse texture. Finally, prepare the tempering and pour it over the chutney, mixing well before serving.
