Bottlegourd curry


Recipe share by Suma.Thanks!

Ingredients used:

Two spoons of chanadal(soaked for 20 minutes)
Half a bottlegourd/lauki chopped into chunks
One onion finely chopped
Two tomatoes chopped
Salt to taste

To grind:

Two teaspoons of coconut
1 small teaspoon of coriander seeds and jeera/cumin seeds
Three green chillies
One teaspoon redchilli powder
1/2 cup chopped coriander leaves (to garnish)
2 tsp cooking oil
Salt to taste

How to make:
I prepare this directly in a cooker as I want lauki to be soft and also reduce the time of cooking.
Heat oil in cooker. Add chopped onions and fry a bit. Add turmeric powder soaked chanadal, the paste and fry.  Then, add lauki, tomatoes, chilli powder, salt and cook for two whistles.  Finally, garnish with coriander leaves.
