Stuffed Ridge gourd with Onion masala /Beerakaya Ulli Karam

Weather in bay area changed a lot. Past few weeks it is so cold. I just don't feel like stepping out of my house. But nothing stops just because I don't want to go out right :) (I wish it was like that ). Last week was one of the hectic week at work. Glad that week is over. Another week is about to start. As usual my sunday chores started with grocery shopping ,cleaning, laundry etc. Today's visit to grocery store I got tender ridge gourd. So decided to make Stuffed Ridge gourd with onion masala for dinner.



Here is the recipe

Ingredients:

2 medium sized onion

4 medium sized or 3 large Ridge Gourd
salt as per taste
red chili powder as per your spirce level

1tbsp oil

Preparation:

Wash and peel ridge gourd and cut into medium sized cubes. Slit cubes into legnth wise. 

Finely chop onions(I used food processor to chop onions).

Mix red chili powder, salt and chopped onions.  check spice and adjust as needed.

Take a 1/2 tbsp of the filling and stuff each cubed ridge gourd

In a skillet keep all the stuffed ridge gourd and sprinkle oil and cook on medidum heat covering with a lid.  Make sure to turn ridge gourds other side once in a while to cook evenly.  Do not add water since ridge gourd has lot of water. 
It will take 10 to 15 mts to cook this curry. Serve this curry either with rice or roti.
