Ridge gourd Peels Chutney

I was taken aback when my mom in law first mentioned to me "you don't have to throw this away, make a thuvaiyal (chutney)"! i was like !!!!what with the peels...and she adds saying " you can make chips out of it!" and I was amazed!

But this is completely delicious and you have to trust me on that!

You need

White lentils/urad dal 2 tablespoons

Someone got too impatient :D
