beerakaya kodi guddu kura – Ridge gourd is called as beerakaya in telugu and when prepared with egg tastes delectable and anybody who tastes the combination of these two in a masala gravy, will surely love this. Ridge gourd has a mild sweet taste which brings a new taste and aroma to the gravy.
beerakaya kodi guddu kura combo is not new and has been relished in Andhra pradesh for several decades. It is a nice way of getting your family to eat eggs as well vegetables in one meal. The only change I made to the original recipe is the use of kitchen king masala instead of the simple homemade garam masala.
Iam a huge of various spices or masalas and powders. I love to experiment my regular dishes with a change of the spice powder. I do not stick on to any specific masala powders. I just keep trying with whatever I have in my kitchen. So you can try with any masala powder, but the one that tastes best for this recipe is the kitchen king masala.

Hi Swasthi,
Is the procedure same for preparing chikkudukay with egg?
Also I couldn’t find poori recipe in your blog.
Thanks in advance
swasthi says
Welcome Kavitha,
Yes you can make it the same way. Just fry chikkudukayalu for at least 4 to 5 mins before you cover and cook them. The smell of this veggie is very strong. Oh yes I forgot about poori recipe. I will share it in a week or two.
Thank you.
🙂
