Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Bottle gourd (sorakkai), peeled and chopped
- 0.5 cups Coconut, grated
- 1 teaspoons Ginger, minced
- 2 units Green chilies, chopped
- 6 units Curry leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons Cumin seeds
- 2 units Dry red chilies
- 1 tablespoons Tamarind pulp
- 1 tablespoons Oil (preferably coconut oil)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Asafoetida (hing)
Instructions
Peel and chop the bottle gourd (sorakkai) into small cubes. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add cumin seeds, asafoetida (hing), dry red chilies, and curry leaves. Sauté for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the chopped bottle gourd, salt, and minced ginger to the pan. Sauté for 3-4 minutes.
Cover the pan and cook for 7-8 minutes on low-medium heat until the bottle gourd becomes tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the bottle gourd is cooked, turn off the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Transfer the cooked bottle gourd to a blender. Add grated coconut, green chilies, tamarind pulp, and 1/4 cup of water. Blend into a smooth chutney.
Taste and adjust the salt, tamarind, or chili according to your preference.
Serve the chutney fresh as a healthy and low-carb accompaniment for dosa, idli, or as a dip for raw vegetables.
