Ive always liked Dodka curry (back home we called it Dodkyachi Bhaji) and Dodkyachya Salachi Chutney ( Chutney using the skin of Dodka).<BR/><BR/>Instead of Peanut, I used Split Moong (Its the Green Moong, without Skin and Halved). I added a small tomato to it, instead of using Tamrind.<BR/><BR/>You can use Maharshtrian Garam Masala or Raj Gondhalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11541253254733422502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-78601531162085405142008-06-16T10:38:00.000-05:002008-06-16T10:38:00.000-05:00Thank you sooooooooooooooo much for sharing this r...Thank you sooooooooooooooo much for sharing this recipe.My husband is very fond of peanut based curries.I made it yesterday n he just loved it.And had asked me to thank you :).I had never thought that ridge gourd can be made this way.But i surely loved it.And i love your site.Good work.Keep posting such easy n tasty recipes.Looking forward to many more of them.Arpanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17843635979000269646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-4657110386575707062008-06-02T22:16:00.000-05:002008-06-02T22:16:00.000-05:00HI nupur...Ur preparation is really good...u can a...HI nupur...<BR/>Ur preparation is really good...u can also try this veg...by adding WHEAT FLOUR DIYA SHAPES..(IN MARATHI CALLED AS KANKICHE DIVE)..MADE IN SHAPE OF DIYAS 4M DOUGH SAME U PREPARE 4 ROTIS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-9114458511348511002008-03-23T14:07:00.000-05:002008-03-23T14:07:00.000-05:00Hi Nupur,Thank you so much for sharing this recipe...Hi Nupur,<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us.

The skin is as tough as leather and quite inedible. That is why I remove it.Nupurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03890441057480820053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-82204618637465524392008-02-02T09:01:00.000-06:002008-02-02T09:01:00.000-06:00Hi,I liked your recipe.

Try putting just cumin powder a little more. How you cut the gourd also changes the taste.

In fact it would make the curry creamier!<BR/> If you are unable to find ridge gourds, do substitute zucchini, it should work great.
