medium-sized onion
4 cloves garlic
5 large shrimp
1/3 teaspoon turmeric powder
salt
4 green chilies
coriander leaves

mustard oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Olive oil is healthier while vegetable oil is more budget-friendly.

green chili

🥗Healthier: jalapeño

💰Cheaper: bell pepper

1

Wash the bottle gourd with water and peel it.

2

Cut the bottle gourd into slices that are slightly thick, not too thin.

3

Heat a little less than 1/3 cup mustard oil in a pan over medium heat.

4

Add chopped medium-sized onion and 4 cloves of garlic; fry until they turn light brown.

5

Add 5 large shrimp that have been cut; fry for about 1 minute to release their aroma.

6

Season the shrimp with salt and rub in a little turmeric powder to prevent them from looking white when cooked.

7

Add 1/3 teaspoon turmeric powder and a little water to prevent burning.

8

Stir the turmeric powder until the oil rises to the top.

9

Add the bottle gourd and 4 green chilies that have been slightly crushed, not cut into pieces.

10

Cook for 5-6 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally.

11

Cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low; cook for about 10 minutes.

12

After 10 minutes, remove the lid; a lot of water has been released from the bottle gourd.

13

Continue cooking without adding more water for another 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

14

Add a handful of coriander leaves towards the end of cooking.
