Found ridge gourd at the local Indian grocery shop. It has been such a long time since I have eaten it. Felt like eating at once. Therefore, I bought one.
I like ridge gourd added in a watery dish. Struck my mind was sodhi. Sodhi is a broth like dish cooked with coconut milk and tamarind. I wanted to using avoid them both. As substitute, I decided to use milk and tomatoes, which are far healthier.
Ridge Gourd Sodhi
What do we need:
1 ridge gourd
1 large tomato
1 large onion
1 green chilli
1 tbsp dried shrimps
1 cup water
1 cup milk
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
salt
How do we do it:
Remove skin and slice the ridge gourd into 1/2 inch rings. Slice the tomatoe and onion. Half the chilli lengthwise. Wash and drain the dried shrimps.
Heat oil, add the onion, chilli and shrimps. Sautè until aromatic. Add the ridge gourd. Pour in the water and add turmeric powder. Cook covered until the ridge gourd is cooked.
Add milk and sliced tomatoes. Season with salt. Remove from heat when milk starts to boil.
Serve Ridge Gourd Sodhi with hot piping rice or idiappam.

Nabeela~ Yes, they are. I hope u'll like it as much as I do.

Ridge gourd and shrimps,must try combo,Nice recipe Pushpa!
This is new to me,the combo of ridge gourd and shrimps..Will try soon...Thanks for sharing pushpa..
This is totally new to me, sounds delicious too!
Is tamarind unhealthy? I didnt know that.
hmm interesting - we make sodhi a lot being from tirunelvelli, but we never add tamarind, this would be a new taste, I shd try it.
Pushpa,
Thank you for the recipe. I have a Q. Where is this dish from? I saw a cabbage Sodhi recipe in another blog, and there also the place of origin is not mentioned. It will be great if you can shed some light on this.
Looks wonderful Pushpa! I'm bookmarking this, thanks :)
Yep! Pushpa, I agree with Linda, It looks so absolutely wonderful.Hmmm....Idiappam is one of my fav breakfast and can imagine the combo ,thanks for sharing this recipe...:)
Hi Puspha,
Thanx, I noted the contents. Can I make without dried shrimps???
Sumitha, Sudhav, Linda & Lera~ Thank u very much. Let me know how u like it.
Yum~ Thank u. Yes, tamarind is quite unhealthy.
Shankari~ My mother uses tamarind in her sodhi and it tastes so good with idiappam.
Btw, my paternal ancestors originate from Thirunelvelli. We culd probably b relatives hehehe.
Archana~ I head tat sodhi is cooked in the some parts of tamil nadu. Wat I´m very sure is tat sodhi is a stample of Sri Lankan Tamils. It is a daily must have item for them. :)
Menu~ Thank u. Of course u can omit them & make a vegetarian version.
Hi Pushpa
