Stuffing vegetables is very common in Andhra cuisine. Gutti vankaya or stuffed brinjal is a special dish prepared in marriages. Stuffed beerakaya is really a different one. This recipe I have seen in the news paper. I tried and tasted. It came very well and all my family members liked it. To make this recipe we need to get fresh and tender ridge gourds.
I wish all my viewers also try and like this.
Ingredients:
Beerakayalu/Ridge Gourd-4Ground Nuts-1tbsp
Sesame Seeds-2tsp
Red Chillies-4
Coriander Seeds-1tbsp

Procedure:
Roast ground nuts and sesame seeds separately. Roast coriander seeds and red chillies.
Grind all of them along with dry coconut, garlic, salt and turmeric powder to make a fine powder.
Remove the edges and cut them into 3 inches long. We need not remove full skin of ridge gourd, just remove the hard ones on the surface. Slit them into two pieces.
Stuff the above prepared powder into ridge gourd pieces.
Heat oil in a fry pan and put all the stuffed ridge gourd pieces. Cover it with close lid. Cook them in the low flame. Turn them in between and cook them till they become soft. Serve it with hot steamed rice.
