Prep Time: 10 min

Tomatoes – 1, medium, cubed
Ginger – 1 tbsp, minced
Cilantro – 12-15 sprigs, finely chopped
Oil – 1 tbsp
Turmeric Powder – ½ tsp
Water – ¼ cup
Salt – to taste
Coriander Powder – 1 tsp
Cumin Powder – ½ tsp

Method:

1. Peel and cube the Bottle Gourd.
2. Prep all the ingredients ahead.
3. In a pressure cooker, heat Oil on medium heat.
4. Add in the Ginger and stir for 30 sec.

6. Add in the Onions, mix and allow them to turn translucent. Mix frequently.
7. Add in the Green Chilies, Bottle Gourd, Water and Salt. Mix.

11. Add in the Tomatoes, Coriander Powder, Cumin Powder and 1/2 the Cilantro.
