Ingredients Serving: 6

  1. Bottle gourds 3 medium
  2. Shrimp 20 pieces
  3. Turmeric powder 1 tspn
  4. Oil 4 tbspn
  5. Cumin seeds 1 tspn
  6. Whole dry red chilli 1
  7. Bay leaf 1
  8. Red chilli powder 1 tspn
  9. Cumin powder 1 tspn
  10. Coriander powder 1 tspn
  11. Water as needed

Instructions

  1. Peel and cut lau into very small pieces (4 cm squares). Salt them and keep aside. Peel shrimp, wash thoroughly, rub salt and turmeric and keep aside.
  2. Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds, whole dry red chili, and a bay leaf. Let it splutter. Add shrimp and stir for couple of minutes. Now add lau and stir well. Put a cover on and let it cook on low flame. Take the cover off occasionally and stir. If the bottle gourds is fresh it will release water. The lau will soften gradually. No need to add water as the lau will cook in its own juice.
  3. Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, cumin powder, coriander powder. Stir and cover. At this point if you don’t see enough water released from lau then add ¼ cup of water. Keep the lau covered. Let it be cooked fully. Adjust salt and take it off the heat. Serve with rice.
