RIDGEGOURD SKIN POWDER(BEERAKAYA POTTU PODI)

This podi/powder is made at home when we bring berakaya /ridge gourd from the market. Its very sad to see throwing away the ridge gourd skin when its very tender and soft. So my sister makes this variety podi full of fiber from its skin. This is really a very easy podi and goes well with hot rice, dal and a dash of ghee. i have the recipe of beerakaya pachadhi/chutney also you will soon see them in my upcoming posts.
