Ridge gourd Guacamole (Bengali style) /Jhinger khosa bata

Guacamole is a salad or sometimes served as a dip, generally made with avocado and it tends to be little thick in consistency while mine is dry as it is popularly known as 'jhinger khosa bata' in Bengali cuisine. It is served with rice. Ridge Gourd has cooling properties that control our metabolism. This one I made this summer though posting now.
