Hi Supermoms,
Are you also a snake gourd fan like me. Isn’t it such a tasty vegetable?
You can make amazing subjis/poriyal (fried, boiled, with coconut or onion etc) with it.
Well, here is something more interesting for you that you will love to know as a snake gourd fan. Before I tell you what it is, you must answer a simple question. Do you throw away the snake gourd seeds?
Well, next time, don’t !
It is not only a good source of potassium but also has a lot of anti-bacterial properties that help to flush out toxins.
Today I am sharing one of my most favourite ways to use the snake gourd seeds - Snake Gourd Seeds Chutney or I call it Pudalangai Vidhaiyal (Tomato flavour version) .
A ‘zero-waste’ chutney recipe, that you and your family will love 💕. I had earlier shared the Thogayal( Chutney for Rice) plain version, do try that out too. You can get the Pudalangai Vidhaiyal Recipe here.
