Gongura Leaves & Ridge Gourd Skin Thovaiyal

This time the Ridge Gourd skin looks very good and I don't feel like wasting it. At the same time I was already in the process of making Goungura Thovaiyal. Suddenly my idea is bulb is switched on. Yes I made the thovaiyal with Gongura leaves & Ridge gourd skin.                              

Gongura /Sorrel leaves are very sour in taste, so need to add Tamarind as you do for any other thovaiyal
