Bottle gourd is a versatile vegetable with numerous health benefits, that can be used to make dry curry, dal, yogurt-based curry, and even halwa. The peel of bottle gourd is a powerhouse of nutrients too and can be converted into a delicious chutney that tastes very good with idli or dosa.

Bottle gourd is a regular vegetable in my kitchen. We grow organic bottle gourd in our veggie patch during summer. I have earlier shared various bottle gourd recipes like dal, majjige huli, dry curry, and halwa. Here is my version of chutney made with the bottle gourd skin. Don’t throw away the peel next time and do try this recipe. Simple, healthy, and made with a handful of ingredients - this chutney is a definite winner.

I have also shared the recipe for ridge gourd peel chutney and pumpkin peel chutney. Do give these lip-smacking chutneys a try.
