Heerekayi Sippe Chutney

Most people would have heard elders saying at home that most of the nutrition is in the peels of a vegetable. Our elders had a lot of practical and wonderful recipes with peels and seeds which we generally discard. And it is definitely the case, peels and seeds do have a lot of nutrition. With lack of time coupled with a general disinterest in consuming nutritious simple vegetables we do not bother to saving peels and seeds. This heerekayi sippe chutney is made from ridgegourd/heerekayi sippe.
Nowadays we are again able to buy organic vegetables which should help us get back to some good recipes. Heerekayi sippe chutney has a very earthy flavour and is a good side dish for idli or dosa. Ridgegourd/heerekayi peels are high in fibre content and blends well with a few masala and coconut to give you can easy chutney.


Ensure the peels are fresh and tender. You can store the peels for 1-2 days after peeling them off the heerekayi. You can then prepare heerekayi sippe chutney as fresh side dish later on. Adjust spice as per your taste and enjoy the taste of fresh chutney, you will leave everyone guessing! Try more ridgegourd/heerekayi recipes from FOI: heerekayi dosa, turai. More chutneys from FOI.
