Looking for a comforting, healthy curry that’s light on the stomach but full of flavour? This Dudhi (Bottle Gourd) Curry is a humble yet delicious dish that celebrates the natural sweetness of bottle gourd, gently simmered in a mildly spiced tomato-onion base.
Perfect with hot chapati, rice – we like it with khichdi, or even on its own as a detoxifying bowl, this dish is a staple in many Indian homes — especially during the warmer months.
Ingredients
Dudhi
Directions
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add whole cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until aromatic.
Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for 1–2 minutes until the raw smell fades. Then add the fried onions and spices.
Stir in the blended tomato. Cook the mixture until the oil begins to separate (about 5–7 minutes). Add the fried onions and cook for another 1–2 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine. Add the chopped dudhi, mix well to coat with the masala, and season with salt. Pour in about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water, just enough to help the dudhi cook without making the curry too watery. Cover and simmer on low to medium heat for about 12–15 minutes, or
