Ridge gourd Thogayal / Ridge gourd Cilantro Chutney

Again its time for Blog Hop Wednesday and this time i am paired with Anusha of Tomato Blues. I have tried some of her recipes and never disappointed. I wanted to try her Milk bunt cake but this time was little tired n picked this Ridge gourd Thogayal. I tried this thogayal on the same day she posted it. the recipe sounds interesting n new to me with unique combo of ingredients and very aromatic too. Ridge gourd-cilantro-cumin-coconut were the four main ingredients for this delicious Thogayal. It turned out awesome n such a delicious accompaniment for rice. We all loved it. After that i tried this chutney 3 four times, yes at least once in a week. I love this thogayal that much and totally forgot to use Ridge gourd in curry, pulao, chutney, Stir Fry form. We had this Thogayal for our lunch along with rice, Brinjal Roast & Paruppu Rasam. This goes well with curd rice also it tasted so so yummy...do give it a try, sure u will love it. Now to the recipe.

Now its time for Blog Hop Wednesday, brainchild of Radhika. I think most of the bloggers might me knowing about this wonderful event. If not, do drop by Radhika's space to know more about the event. For this month i was paired with Jagruti Dhanecha of Jagruti's Cooking Odyssey, JCO in short, wow...she had lots of delicious recipes and i loved all her sweet delights and North Indian Chaats/Snacks. First i thought of making Pani Puri from her space, but i lack mint n chilies to make chutney n pani :( so dropped that idea...Then after going through all her recipes i decided to bake her Poppy Seeds and Parsley Savory Muffins. As we love savory muffins a lot and also the recipe sounds simple n very interesting that too with little touch of spices n ginger-garlic paste, i was so much impressed n tried it without second thought. I made very little changes to the original recipe since i lack wheat germ i used Milled Flax seeds. The muffins come our really too good n tasted like savory bread, she suggested to serve with green chutney, gonna make it for our evening snack. My kids too liked it very much, these muffins are very flavorful, soft n yummy. Now to the recipe...
