When I told my friend that I had made a Ridge gourd peel chutney, she asked me if I have ever tried making one with green tomatoes. Since I hadn’t , asked her for her recipe. There are a variety of ways that it can be made, but trying out the one suggested by her today. Thank you so much Simran Kaul Gangolli for this wonderful recipe. It is absolutely divine!
