I love this dish because it takes no-oil. This is the only recipe in which we do not use oil at all. The quantities specified in this recipe are for 8 people. Each gets 2 to 3. While preparing this batter consider the measurements. Otherwise, we get more quantity of batter which cannot be used next day.

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-4
Ground Nuts-1tbsp
Sesame Seeds-2tsp
Red Chillies-4
Coriander Seeds-1tbsp
Dry Coconut-1tbsp
Garlic-4 or 5
Salt-to taste
Turmeric Powder-1tsp
Oil-2tbsp
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.
