Ingredients

• 500 grams Bottle Gourd (Loki)
• 2 tablespoons Ghee or Coconut Oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
• 2 Green Chilies, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, finely grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Coriander Leaves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bottle gourd, then cut it into small cubes of about 1-inch size.

Step 2

Heat the ghee or coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and allow them to crackle.

Step 3

Add the finely chopped green chilies and grated ginger to the pan. Stir-fry for about a minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Stir swiftly to combine with the other ingredients.

Step 5

Add the cubed bottle gourd and salt. Stir everything together to coat the bottle gourd with the spices.

Step 6

Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes until the bottle gourd becomes soft. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Once the bottle gourd is cooked through, remove the lid, and increase the heat to medium. Stir continuously for another 2-3 minutes to evaporate any excess moisture.

Step 8

Turn off the heat, add the lemon juice and chopped coriander leaves. Stir well to mix.

Step 9

Serve the Keto Loki ki Subji hot, garnished with additional coriander leaves if desired.
