This spiny gourd curry is perfect for any vegetarian day, and pairs wonderfully with lunch or dinner alongside rice or roti.

I’ve made this dish entirely vegetarian, meaning without onions or garlic. The recipe includes white sesame seeds, poppy seeds, black and yellow mustard seeds paste, and a little grated coconut. The flavor turned out so well that it could easily compete with any non-vegetarian dish.
