When I was in school we used to have these competitions ‘Best out of Waste’. All the discarded material would be put to use like paper scraps , small pieces of cloth..even the shells of coconuts!I would feel really proud making beautiful articles from that scrap.
I get a similar feeling making Ridge Gourd Peelchutney . Whenever I make Ridge Gourd curry I put the skins to use, instead of discarding them. I usually end up eating the chutney more than the curry!
So next time don’t discard these nutritive peels, instead make this crunchy, delicious chutney.

Oh! I remember my Sis- in – law makes it too. Hey do you have the recipe to the Kaddipaata chutney? I think it is made in the same way but I am not sure.
Hi,
My MIL makes this but she adds fried urad dall, oinon and tomato for volume.Sesame seeds are strange to me in a chutney. Any particular reason for it?
@They give a crunch to the chutney and of course taste good.
Thanx for sharing.
I make chutney with this , delicious! Thanks for the new idea.
