    Ridge Gourd Egg Bhurji ~ Beerakaya Kodi Guddu Kura

    For the second day of bhurji recipes, I have a ridge gourd egg bhurji. Initial plan was to cook this without egg. I wasn’t sure if there would be any takers for it and threw in a couple of eggs to camouflage the ridge gourd. Husband liked it and said he would not mind eating it again.

    Here, I grated ridge gourd but it can also be cut into small cubes. In fact, when growing up my mom use to make ridge gourd egg curry with chopped gourd. Since I wanted a bhurji texture, I grated the gourd in my food processor. I shall share the eggless version of this recipe very soon.

      Never heard of this combo. But since I don't eat eggs, I cannot really say much on this.

      Eggs kind of make everything better. Even ridge gourd 😀 ( I shouldn't complain because I happen to like it, unlike the rest of the crowd in my place).
