Additional Tips

  • For an added layer of flavor, temper whole spices like cumin seeds and bay leaves in hot oil before adding the stuffed bottle gourd to the pan; this infuses the dish with a fragrant, authentic Bengali touch.
  • If using canned jackfruit, rinse it thoroughly and squeeze out excess brine for a cleaner taste and better absorption of spices during cooking.
  • To achieve a golden, slightly crisp exterior on the stuffed bottle gourd, lightly dust the outside with rice flour before pan-searing or shallow-frying prior to simmering in the sauce.
  • Leftover filling can be repurposed into jackfruit cutlets by mixing with a bit more rice flour, shaping into patties, and pan-frying until golden—perfect as a snack or side dish.
