We usually end up throwing peels of vegetables and fruits but they are loaded with vitamins and minerals. I usually use these peels to make Chutney or vegetable stock for soups. I decided to make bottle gourd kofta curry for lunch today and decided to use the peels for making chutney. I added a little coriander and coconut to make this Bottle Gourd Peel Chutney and no one in my family could find a change in taste too!
I served this Bottle Gourd Peel Chutney with Coconut Sevai for breakfast today. So, try out this healthy chutney recipe and enjoy a healthier breakfast.
