i prepare this chutney quite often and these days i buy fresh ash gourd from market to prepare the combination of ash gourd sambar and ash gourd chutney. kumblakai is certainly a complete package and i even prepare tambuli or tambli from the seeds of ash gourd. so in other words, just with half ash gourd you can get delicious sambar, kumblakai sippe chutney and raita or tambuli to complete your lunch.
while there ins’t any complicated steps with the ash gourd peel chutney, yet i would like to share few tips and suggestions. firstly, the texture of kumblakai sippe chutney has to be coarsely grounded and do not ground it finely. secondly, you can also store the ash gourd peel in fridge and can prepare the chutney next day or even after 2 days. lastly, i have added jaggery to this chutney recipe for the sweet and spicy taste. if you do not prefer, you can skip adding the jaggery completely.
