Ashgourd / White Pumpkin/ Poosanikai is a low calorie vegetable with high water content and high fibre. It is a highly preferred vegetable during summer, for its cooling properties.
Though we usually prepare sambar, kootu using ashgourd; now I tried in raita form using curd and without coconut.
Though this recipe is suitable for all ages; it is highly recommended for people suffering from ulcer and constipation.
Try to include in your daily diet for a healthy living!
