I never imagined a kurma recipe with Bottle gourd (Sorakkai in Tamil, Lauki in Hindi) until I came across a YouTube video. In Bangalore hotels, I have tasted vegetable sagu for poori and set dosa with chow chow or turnip but I have never tasted kurma with bottle gourd.
Basically Bottle gourd is a bland vegetable with rich water content. So it can easily absorb the taste of the dish we add in. This kurma recipe I shared here is an easy, yummy South Indian style recipe that can be prepared directly in a pressure cooker just like my other Kurma varieties. It came out so well and tasty. We all loved it with soft chapathi. I am sure it will taste great with poori and dosa.
Friends, do try this Bottle gourd kurma / Tamil nadu style Sorakkai kurma for a healthy variation from usual kurma recipes. You will love it.
