ridge gourd skin chutney is a chutney made with peel or skin of ridge gourd. It is another chutney with vegetable scrap (like broccoli stem chutney). The skin of this veggie is as nutrition as a ridge gourd. It contains more fiber. We can store the skin in a polythene cover in the fridge for 3 days. It remains fresh until we make chutney.
