How to make Beerakaya Pachadi or Chutney using Ridge Gourd?

Beerakaya pachadi is an Andhra recipe and made using the skin/peel of the vegetable. Beerakaya is nothing but the ridge gourd in English and called Turai in Hindi, Heerekayi in Kannada.

This chutney is a favorite in my home and goes very well with hot rice/ghee. It's a very easy, tasty and quick to make recipe.

Here we go with the recipe; do try and let me know your feedback in the comments.
