Low Carb Keto Ridged Gourd Curry

Ridge Gourd is known as Torai or turai belongs to the same gourd family as bottle gourd and bitter gourd. It's one of the healthy vegetables and is perfect for those who follow the keto diet. Gourd vegetables are low in carbohydrates and fat and ideal for the keto diet.

Ridge gourds have 90% water content, making them suitable for the summer season. Like other gourd family members, they have numerous health benefits.

This is a simple preparation with everyday aromatic spices. This belongs to North Indian food. Torai sabzi is a popular everyday food in North India. It takes hardly 10 minutes to make this curry. You can make this as a sauteed dish or a curry with a little gravy. For that, you don't need to add water to the curry. Turai is a water-rich vegetable and releases a lot of water while cooking. Let the veggies simmer in that itself.
