Bottle Gourd is one veggie that i often cook . This curry is made with coconut milk . so double cooling for the body. The curry is soothing and very light on the tummy. This coconut milk curry is my mom’s recipe and she often makes this . It goes best with some steamed rice with a side vegetable salad or pickle.
