BM #98 Week 4 Day 1 - 

This week I shall showcase some of our family favorites which have been recent additions to our favorite list. 

My family has been bored to eat Bottle gourd in any form and I didn't want to totally eliminate it from our grocery list. So I tried masking it in this gravy and it went unnoticed. Win-win.

Ingredients - 

Sorrakaya / Bottle Gourd / Doodhi chopped 2 cups
Onion, finely chopped 1/2 cup
Ginger-Garlic-Green chili Paste 2 tsp
Salt, Turmeric, Amchur Powder, Dhania Jeera powder as needed
To Grind - 
Tomato chopped 1 cup
Coriander leaves handful
Peanuts, roasted handful
Seasoning (Oil 1 Tbsp, Cumin seeds 1/2 tsp)


Method Of Preparation -


In a heated pan, add oil and cumin seeds.

Add the chopped onions and saute them until golden brown. 

Meanwhile grind the tomato, peanuts and coriander leaves into a fine paste adding as much water as needed. Set aside

Add the ginger-garlic-green chili paste and saute for a few seconds.

Add int he tomato peanut paste adding about a cup of water.

Add in Dhania Jeera powder, amchur powder and Turmeric.

Let it come to a rolling boil.

Add in the chopped bottle gourd, mix well and cover allowing the bottle gourd to cook.

After about 10-12 minutes, remove the cover, add salt to taste and adjust the consistency of the gravy as needed.

Let it simmer for a few more minutes.

Remove from heat and garnish with coriander leaves.

Serve with rice or roti.

  2. The gravy sounds like something that would pair amazingly well with chapathis too... looks so thick and delicious...

     
  3. Adding peanuts would impart such a lovely flavor to the gravy. And this is the perfect base to sneak in the gourd.
