Turai chana dal ki sabji
CHANA DAL KI SABJI
Ridge gourd is a popular vegetable used in Indian cooking. It comes in two variants – one with a smooth surface and other with a ridged surface. Locally, it goes by various names like “Turai” in Hindi, “Jhinge” in Bengali, “Beerakaya” in Telugu and “Peerkangaai” in Tamil. It is a green fleshy vegetable having an inherently bland taste. It is commonly used to prepare many regular dishes such as pakoras, sambhar, dal, chutney and raita, after being adequately seasoned with spices, to enhance its flavour.
Despite not appealing to the taste buds of many people, Ridge gourd has many health benefits.
This ridge gourd is absolutely low in calories and carbs, thus making it a very virtuous choice for those on low-cal and low-carb diet. Consuming ridge gourd regularly can help to maintain blood sugar levels and hence diabetic. Since this vegetable is full of moisture and fiber with negligible fat, it’s a boon for digestive system too.
