Ridge Gourd is known as Torai or turai belongs to the same gourd family as bottle gourd and bitter gourd. Its one of the healthy vegetable and perfect for them who following Keto diet. Gourd vegetables are low in carbohydrates, low in fat and perfect for the keto diet.
In the stirfrying little more oil gives that additional fat requirements for the Keto. Those who don't want additional fat stick to less oil. I prefer using mustard oil rather than refined oil. Else use extra light olive oil.
Ridge gourd has 90% water content and hence good for summer season. It has numerous health benefits like other gourd family members.

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 stir-fried dish or as a curry with little gravy.
