Bottle gourd Sabzi

Ingredients:

1. 1 tablespoon oil
2. 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
3. 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
4. Curry leaves
5. Green chillies
6. Hing
7. Turmeric powder
8. Chopped bottle gourd 150g

Preparation Method: 

• Heat the oil in a pan or kadai on medium heat. Once hot add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
• Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle a bit.
• Add green chilies and curry leaves. Saute for 30 seconds.
• Add hing and turmeric powder, and mix.
• Immediately add chopped lauki and salt. Mix well.
• Cover the pan with a lid and cook until lauki is soft and tender.
• Do stir once or twice in between. Lauki has a lot of moisture, so while cooking it leaves some water so there are fewer chances that sabzi will stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Mix well, turn off the stove and bottlegourd sabji is ready to serve.
