Ingredients
Vegetables
- 2 medium Potatoes peeled and chopped into 1-inch cubes
- 1 medium Bottle Gourd lauki, about 1 cup chopped
- 1 medium Onion finely chopped
- 1 medium Tomato finely chopped
Spices & Aromatics
- 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder haldi
- 1/2 tsp Kitchen King Masala or your preferred garam masala
- 1 tsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Aromatics
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
- Add finely chopped onions and green chilies (if using). Sauté until onions soften, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add Spices and Vegetables
- Stir in turmeric powder and Kitchen King Masala (or garam masala). Sauté for 30 seconds, ensuring spices are well combined and fragrant.
- Add the chopped potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chopped bottle gourd and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Simmer and Finish
- Add 1/2 cup of water (or more, as needed) and salt to taste. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until potatoes and bottle gourd are tender, about 10-15 minutes, or until desired level of doneness is reached.
- Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. If the gravy becomes too thick, add a little more water. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Remove from heat and serve hot with rice, roti, or naan.
