My
previous post was Peerkangai/Ridge gourd kootu, so I did not throw away the
peel rather made my favourite peerkangai thol thogaiyal. It is rich is fiber
and very delicious and traditional thogaiyal of Tamil Nadu. I wrote a few
benefits about ridge gourd/peerkangai in my previous post and I want to share a
few more here as well. Peerkangai helps in lowering the blood and urine sugar
level, not only that it helps to purify, restore and nourish liver and also
helps to cure skin diseases like eczema, psoriasis etc. When the ridge gourd is allowed to mature and
dry in the vine, it is later harvested like a sponge. This sponge is one great
natural exfoliating product used for bathing to remove dead skin cells and thereby
leaving the skin soft and conditioned. I think with this note I will move on
with the recipe. Check out other chutney & thogaiyal varieties here.
