Cook the Rice (15 minutes)
Rest and Fluff (10 minutes)
Prep Vegetables: Lightly scrape the sharp ridges off the ridge gourd using a peeler. Wash thoroughly and chop into 1/2-inch cubes. Finely chop the onion and tomatoes. Slit the green chillies lengthwise.
Prepare Tempering (Popu): Heat oil in a kadai or a wide pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the mustard seeds and allow them to splutter completely.
Sauté Dals & Aromatics: Add cumin seeds, urad dal, and chana dal to the pan. Sauté for about 45 seconds until the dals turn a light golden brown. Add the asafoetida, curry leaves, and slit green chillies. Sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Cook Onions & Ginger-Garlic: Add the finely chopped onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they become soft and translucent. Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute until the raw aroma disappears.
Add Tomatoes & Spices: Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn soft and mushy. Now, add the turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well and cook the masala for 1-2 minutes until oil starts to separate from the edges.
Cook the Ridge Gourd: Add the chopped ridge gourd to the pan. Stir well to coat the pieces evenly with the masala. Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low to medium heat for 10-12 minutes. The gourd will release its own water, so avoid adding any extra. Stir every few minutes to prevent sticking.
