Directions
Step 1
Peel and chop the bottle gourd (sorakkai) into small cubes. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Step 3
Add cumin seeds, asafoetida (hing), dry red chilies, and curry leaves. Sauté for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Step 4
Add the chopped bottle gourd, salt, and minced ginger to the pan. Sauté for 3-4 minutes.
