• Peel the bottle gourd with peeler, wash it off and chop into small pieces..chop the onions and green chillies
• Heat a skillet with 2 tspns of oil..when the oil is hot enough add crushed garlic cloves and saute it for few seconds till the nice aroma of� garlic comes out..take care not to burn them..now add the remaining talimpu/Seasoning ingredients and saute till mustard seeds pops up.
• Now add chopped green chillies,onions and curry leaves,..saute for a while till the onions become soft..now add the chopped sorakaya/bottle gourd pieces and stir it well so that the tadka gets mixed with this vegetable pieces..now add enough salt and turmeric powder�stir it once and cover with lid ,let it cook� for 5 mints..flame should be on sim to medium.
• After 5 mints..when u open the lid n see , water will be oozed from the vegetable n curry will cooking in that water..in case if the vegetable is not very fresh,water may not be oozed..in that case add a half a cup of water in the curry ,stir it well n cook it till the vegetable is cooked n become soft..cook it by covering with lid.
• When the curry is cooked�v can add milk. before adding milk mix a pinch of cooking soda in the mix,stir it well and pour the milk in the curry�so that the milk wont break its structure.After adding milk..the curry should not be cooked for long..coz it may break the milk though v add cooking soda..so cook it for 5 to 7 mints�n off the flame..
• It goes well with rice as well as roti.

Notes:-

• In this curry red chilli powder is not added to the curry�because as we added milk if we also add red chilli powder the curry will turn red in colour�if we dont add red chilli powder the curry will be in creamish color�but of course its ur wish abt the color of the curry
• After adding milk the spiciness will be reduced a bit..so� keep this in mind while adding green chiilies.
• If the vegetable is very tender non need to peel of the skin.
