Ridge gourd stir fry ( peerkangai poriyal in Tamil) recipe is my recent try with this vegetable. Ridge gourd is called as beerakaya in Telugu, peerkangai in Tamil, torai in hindi, hirekayi in Kannada and peechinga in Malayalam. It is also known as Chinese okra and sponge gourd.
As we all know ridge gourd is a healthy vegetable with lots of health benefits. It is rich in dietary fiber , vitamin-C, zinc, iron, riboflavin, magnesium, thiamine and traces of another minerals. It is low in saturated fat, cholesterol and calories. So its good for weight loss as well. As ridge gourd gets cooked easily, this stir fry can be prepared under 10 minutes. Its a very simple recipe. It is sure is a good addition to my ridge gourd recipes.
Friends, lets try to include this healthy vegetable in our regular diet and reap its benefits. Even we can use its skin/ peel and make an yummy thogayal with it.
