Ghosalyachya saaleechi Chutney (Ridge gourd shavings chutney)



Ghosalyachya saaleechi Chutney (Ridge gourd shavings chutney) is a recipe which is made with Ghosale (Ridge gourd) shavings which are otherwise discarded and the vegetable is either made into a Sabzi or Bhaji (Tossed vegetable with moong dal the style of preparing it in Goa) else made into shallow-fried slices rolled into semolina which we call Fodi in Konkani, amongst which Potato wins the hearts anyway may it be with the kids or adults 😊 I am sure most of my Goan friends will agree with me on this.

Coming back to the Ghosalyachya Saaleechi Chutney, this can be served as a side with the usual vegetarian food which is ideally plain rice, dal, vegetable preparation, sol kadi, fodi so also can be relished with hot rotis for a change.

This is yet another recipe I have learnt from my Mamma(Mother -in -law) and is a must-try for a variation in the routine vegetarian home-cooked meals.

The recipe is given below.

 

Ingredients

 

1 cup Ridge gourd shavings

1 tsp Pure ghee

1 cup freshly grated coconut

1/4th tsp dry roasted mustard seeds

1 tsp jaggery

½ inch tamarind

Salt to taste

½ green chilly

Water as required

 

 

Procedure

 

 In a deep bottom pan, heat the pure ghee. Add the finely chopped ridge gourd shavings and fry them until they are well tossed, slightly roasted.

Add freshly grated coconut to a jar of the mixer. Add the dry roasted mustard seeds, tamarind, green chilly, jaggery, and salt to taste. Grind it into a thick paste.

Now add the roasted ridge gourd shavings, a dash of water, and grind it again to a thin paste. Consistency of Chutney.

At this stage check for salt and sweetness. It should not be too sweet but should bring in a balanced flavor.

Ghosalyachya Saaleechi (Ridge gourd shavings chutney) chutney is ready to serve.
