Today I am going to share a different type of Chutney or it can be used as a dip as well. This can be called a best out of waste recipe. Yes …. You heard it right. This chutney or dip is made from the peel of Pointed gourd or our very own Parwal. We do make different type of chutney or dip with various veggie peels but this one is a keeper for sure.
What is a Condiment?
A condiment is basically a spice, sauce, or a preparation that is added to food after cooking to induce a specific flavor to enhance the flavor, or to complement the dish. A table condiment or table sauce is more specifically a condiment that is served separately from the food and is added to enhance the taste. It includes sauces, dips, pickles and chutneys to name a few.

That sounds one healthy chutney and good use of something we generally discard. Would be so healthy as generally all the nutrients are near the skin of any vegetable. Would love to try this.
Wow Preethi and innovative chutney recipe. I usually don’t peel the skin off parwal, but to mark this chutney, will have to. Its truly amazing how the South Indian Cuisine has so many recipes to use up peels.
Very good use of parwal peels.. I usually make parwal with peels but chutney looks quite inviting won’t mind trying it and pairing it up with parathas or dal rice..
We make the peel chutney once a week with all or individual peels (incl padwal, chow chow, ridge gourd etc) . I like the addition of onions here, will try ur version sometime preethi.
Wow Preethi never thought of parwal peel chutney. So innovative recipe. I will try it for sure. Sounds so flavorful and tasty. I would love to serve it as a dip.
D’t know that we can prepare chutney with pointed gourd peel too Preeti ji. We prepare chutney with ridge gourd peel regularly at home. Would love to try this aroma and tasty chutney .
Healthy, yummy and look interesting – these wonderful chutney are a complete package! Totally new to me,i never peel the parwal skin use it whole. Interesting share!!

We often make chutney using ridge gourd peels, but never thought of making one with peels of pointed gourd. Very innovative!
The chutney looks so delicious and inviting! I definitely wouldn’t mind having this with some rice. 🙂
Super easy and innovative chutney. I usually make chutney with ridgegourd peel. But have not tried with pointed gourd peel. This sounds interesting.
Pointed gourd sabjis are our favourite but I loved the way you utilized the peels and made a tongue tickling chutney… Bookmarking it…
We do not peel Parwal. But this chutney with Parwal peels is surely a keeper one andwiukd definitely give it a try. Thanks for the wonderful share.

Sounds interesting, we use it for gravy, just dry roast the peels and grind into fine paste and Mix in masla. It gives a nice texture.
