Snake Gourd without Oil

IMG_20170731_101751789-01

Snake Gourd is a fantastic vegetable loaded with many health benefits. But it has a tendency to get a oily glaze when cooked. Its something I don’t particularly fancy. This recipe gets rid of this by not using any oil.

You need:

  • Cumin seeds
  • Coriander seeds
  • Dry red chilies
  • Snake Gourd, peeled and cut into small pieces.
  • Chopped up tomato
  • Aamchoor Powder.

Heat a pan and dry roast all the spices. As they release a lovely aroma, add the snake gourd. Cook on high flame and keep stirring. As the snake gourd starts to soften up and this may take only 7 to 8 mins, taste and check if its done. If satisfied, sprinkle some aamchoor powder and salt. Mix it well. But in minute or two, this will form a slightly sticky layer at the base of the pan. Now add the tomato and mix it up. This will clean up the pan.
