Sponge gourd/ zucchini chutney

3 big sponge gourd cut into round with the skin.
2 tbsp chana dal      2 tbsp arhar dal   3-4 red chilies   4 garlic pearls
some hing pdr.  Roast the dals with wee bit of oil, garlic & chilies, can be done in microwave also for roughly 1-1 1/2 min. remove, cool & pdr. it roughly. In the same dish, put the cut gourd & sprinkle some water & micro high for 3 min. Cool, ground with the powdered dal , along with salt to taste.
This goes well with hot rice & ghee/melted butter, can be spread on bread, like I did, when I got hungry,  tastes good with roti. Some may like it with dosa also. Normally when we've vathak kulambu, we've this that day, as there is protein in it.

ps- some may roast only chana dal, or only arhar dal, the combination can be increased as per your taste.
