This is yet another simple dish made in my maternal home with Baby Bottle Gourd and Bengal Gram or Chana Daal. Not only it is absolutely delicious but also gives that amazing crunch to the dish. Baby Bottle Gourd is a perfect accompaniment to many a meals. It's juicy, tender and absolutely flavourful.
It goes very well with any Indian Bread for Breakfast.
It also can be relished with a steaming hot plate of simple boiled Rice alongside any other Curry or as it is too. It tastes super yummy.
And it's done with just a few spices and Vegetables. That's it.

It looks so good as well. Simple yet filling and comfort food, by all means, it tops the menu in my house for Breakfast mostly.
Try it out for yourselves and do share your feedback if possible.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
