Beerakaya Curry

Contributor: Radha
Here is my tried recipe with ridge gourd.. It came out well..

1..Beerakaya curry..
.......................................

Ingredients:

* 1 arm sized ridge gourd( beerakai )
* 1/2 small lime sized tamarind
* 1 big onion
* 5 green chillies
* cilantro / coriander
* 1 tsp sugar

For tadka or seasoning

* 1 tsp mustard seeds( aavaalu )
* 1 tsp cumin seeds( jeela karra/ jeera )
* 1 tsp Methi seeds( menthulu )--- Required!
* 10 curry leaves
* a dash of hing
* 1 tbsp split chick peas / chana dal
* 2-3 tbsp oil
* a pinch of turmeric

Method of preparation:

* Peel the gourd ( save the peels for the chutney ) and chop into 1/2 inch pieces
* Slit green chillies length wise, and onions into 1 inch pieces
* Soak tamarind in warm water for 5 min, remove any seeds in tamarind and keep aside
* In a pressure pan, heat oil and add seasonings and when they start to pop, add curry leaves, onions and chillies
* Fry for 30 sec and add ridge gourd pieces( beerakai mukkalu) and tomatoes
* Saute for 2 more min and add tamarind pulp and water until the pieces just get immersed in water
* Pressure cook for 5-10 min or if u have Indian style pressure cooker with weight, switch off the heat just after one whistle
* Once the weight comes off easily, open and cook under flame until desired thickness.
* You can mash it a little(or more if you want a thick gravy ) with a round bottommed spoon or masher.
* Add sugar at this point( you can either avoid or get overboard with sugar )
* Adjust salt to taste and if you need more spice, you can add red chilli powder.
* Switch off the flame and add cilantro! the spicy ridge gourd curry is ready!
