In the kadai heat oil and fry the bori and keep them aside. Then add bay leaves, wild celery seeds, fenugreek seeds and fennel seeds. Then add the chopped gourd and saute well.

Add turmeric powder and salt and mix them very well. Now cover with the lid and cook for 10 minutes. The flame should be medium during cooking.

After 10 minutes open the lid and check the gourd is soft or not. If not cover and cook until the gourd is soft. When the gourd is getting soft add the diced sweet potatoes and mix them very well.
