This is a traditional Bengali homemade style Bottle gourd curry cooked with prawns and some mustard paste. This combo is an absolute delicacy. Any Bengali will vouch for it. Bori or dried lentil dumplings can be substituted for prawns for a veg. version. This recipe has minimum of spices and can be dished out in a jiffy. It especially goes very well with hot steamed rice. But one can always try it with chapati too.
Would love to try this.
Marinate the prawns with a pinch of salt and turmeric powder for 5 minutes. Heat oil in a pan and temper with nigella seeds. Saute for a few seconds and then add the marinated prawns. Stir fry till they change colour.
Add the chopped bottle gourd, salt, turmeric powder & green chilies. Cover & cook on a low flame till done. If required, sprinkle some water at intervals.
When the bottle gourd is cooked and is soft, add the mustard paste,
mustard oil and
coriander leaves. Mix everything well and simmer for a minute.
Serve with hot steamed rice or chapatis.
