Notes:

1. If you think the peanuts is overcooked, remove it from the flame and cook the skin separately and then blend everything together.
2. You can add roasted peanuts instead of raw one.
3. Do not remove the skin of peanuts. As I always say, skin is filled with fiber and nutrition in most food.
4. Same recipe can be followed with the whole ridge gourd. If so, increase the peanuts and adjust the spice accordingly
