Ivy Gourd Hummus
Ivy gourd is called by various names in different parts of India like tendli, kundru, kovai or donda kaya. The recipe I am sharing here is of a hummus made of this gourd which is heavily inspired by the Andhra style chutney made of the same vegetable.
I first time had a chutney made of this gourd when my wife was doing her masters. I visited her college town and her room mate who hails from the state of Andhra in India had made this chutney.
The chutney was spicy and complimented a bowl of rice to perfection.
My recipe is of a hummus using the same chutney, I have just increased the quantity of lentils and decreased the spice content in the recipe to make it taste like a hummus dip.
This is an easy and quick recipe, and can serve as a chutney for rice and roti and also as a dip for your pitas and chips.
Do try it and let me know your experience of this soup in the comments below.
