About Moong Dal With Bottle Gourd

Moong dal is a soft than other dal and easy to digest. Doctor always prescribe for light food, moong dal and bottle gourd also in the same list. Bottle gourd has calcium, so combination both is a healthy food. This is a Bengali traditional recipe. We can find every Bengali knows how to cook. Though there is little bit difference in every home chef. I have cooked in my own style.
