Ridgegourd-Chutney-OPOS-One-Pot-One-shot-cooking-method-Recipe-under-10-minutes

Very Very quick and Easy 10 minute Peerkangai Chutney – Ridgegourd chutney for idli and dosa using OPOS – One Pot One Shot cooking method.

I came to know about this life changing way of cooking “OPOS Cooking” from Mrs. Chitra Viswanathan. She is a wonderful cook. She is one of my biggest inspiration. This method of cooking was invented by Mr.Ramakrishnan. So what is OPOS? OPOS stands for One Pot One Shot. The dish is prepared in the pressure cooker in one shot. No sauteing, No frying…..Add all ingredients in the cooker and cook it for a specified time and the dish is ready. Its the simplest way to cook. Its the perfect answer for someone who does not have the time to cook or someone who is new to cook or someone who does not want to spend hours in the kitchen. Each dish takes only five to six minutes and strictly sticking to the concept of a single vessel in OPOS.

Here is my recipe for Peerkangai Chutney – Ridgegourd Chutney using OPOS Method.

      I tried this today and am blown away. It’s so easy to make, takes less time, perfectly seasoned. Also, this is an easy way to sneak in veggies my kid is not fond of. Thanks Suguna.
