Instructions
 

Prepare the Scrambled Eggs

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and ginger. Sauté until fragrant and slightly golden.
  • Add the green chilies, red chili powder, and salt. Stir-fry for a minute.
  • Push the mixture to one side of the pan. Crack in the eggs and scramble gently, keeping them mostly separate from the onion mixture.
  • Remove the scrambled eggs from the pan and set aside.

Cook the Bottle Gourd

  • In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
  • Add the grated bottle gourd, turmeric powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well.
  • Cover the pan and cook over low heat until the bottle gourd is tender and most of the moisture has evaporated.

Combine and Finish

  • Add the cooked scrambled egg mixture to the bottle gourd. Stir in the garam masala and ghee.
  • Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined.
  • Serve hot with plain rice, roti, paratha, or bread.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Bottle Gourd Scrambled Eggs:

  • If you prefer a smoother texture, you can puree the cooked bottle gourd before adding the scrambled eggs.
  • Adjust the amount of green chilies and red chili powder according to your spice preference.
  • Grated coconut can be added for a richer, creamier texture and flavor.
