Chop the snake gourd into small pieces.
Heat oil. Add a little coconut oil as it really help elevate the flavors. Fry dry red chilies, mustard seeds cumin, coriander seeds and turmeric powder. Once the crackling ends add the snake gourd. Saute and then mix in some coriander powder. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of water. Cook covered on low heat for 7-8 mins. Open and again drizzle 3-4 tablespoons of water. Cook covered for another 5 mins and now check if its done.
Enjoy with just plain curd like I do or with curd rice.
