As we all knew, yogurt possesses so many health benefits. It is a great source of calcium, riboflavin, Vitamin B12 and proteins. When compared to milk, yogurt was proved to contain more calcium due to the added live cultures in the yogurt. And the best thing is it helps in good digestion. Snake gourd is said to have a cooling effect on the body.
Here is chutney with the good old yogurt which is not chutney actually but called as chutney. We may add any vegetables of our choice to make this delicious chutney.

For Seasoning:

Preparation:
In a deep bowl boil the snake gourd pieces along with tomato, turmeric and red chili powder. Chili powder can be replaced with some green chilies.
When the snake gourd pieces appear to be cooked add the yogurt, salt and stir well. Keep the flame in low setting. Don’t over boil the yogurt as it tends to break apart.
Switch off the flame and keep the bowl aside. In a small pan, heat the oil and add the mustard seeds. When they splutter, add the cumin seeds along with the Bengal and Black grams and fry well until the dals turn golden brown. Finally add the broken red chilies and curry leaves and fry well. Add this seasoning to the yogurt chutney and mix well.
Serve with rice/chapathi.

Awesome chutney, Uma! Sounds kind of similar to mor kuzhambu that we make in Tamilnadu, but without coconut. Definitely a delicious dish! :)

Lovely presentation, Uma. Although I don't eat yogurt, I am tempted to try this out with some coconut milk or vegan yogurt.

Snake gourd is my fav.Must tasted good.....
Uma next time try with milk,sure you will like it.
Have you ever heard about yogurt cheese? We like it so much we wrote a cookbook and guide to expand its uses. We even paid to have yogurt cheese analyzed in a lab for nutritional content. Yogurt cheese (or YoChee as we call it) is a wonderful versatile ingredient you can make at home to improve your own yogurt. It has substantial health and taste benefits (a creamy food which is low or no fat plus high protein and calcium). I hope you will take a look at,” Eat Well the YoChee Way” our guide and cookbook to this important food. It really increases the use of yogurt cheese to main courses, soups, sauces, desserts, and much more. (Nutritional content included). Our website YoChee.com contains a free yogurt cheese how - to slide show, nutrition information and free recipes.
Oh my what beautiful presentation Uma!! Looks SO tempting I want to try now :D
