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.

The best way to use the ridge gourd is by using after peeled off. Because the ridge gourd with the skin will be hard-textured when we make curry or stir fry. so we make chutney with this
