Sorrakaya Perugu Koora ~ Bottlegourd Yogurt Curry

For Day 3 week 2 of BM #46, here is a delightful curry which goes very well with roti. Thanks to my aunt who shared this recipe with me.

These types of curries are very popular in my parent's house, the no onion, no garlic type.

Ingredients - 

Sorrakaya / Bottlegourd peeled and chopped 3 cups
Salt, Sugar, Turmeric, chopped Green chillies as needed
Yogurt 3/4 to 1 cup
Seasoning (Ghee/Oil 1 tsp, Chana Dal 1 tsp, Urad Dal 1 tsp, Cumin 1/2 tsp, Mustard seeds 1/4 tsp, Curry leaves few)
To Grind - 
Mustard seeds 1 tsp
Cumin Seeds a pinch


Sorrakaya Perugu Koora ~ Bottlegourd Yogurt Curry

Method Of Preparation -

Steam/Boil the chopped bottlegourd and set aside.

Grind the mustard and cumin seeds and set aside. In fact sometimes I grind the green chillies and coriander leaves as well. But this time I just powdered mustard and cumin seeds.

Heat a pan, add ghee and the rest of the seasoning. Also add the chopped green chillies and saute. 

Add in the steamed/boiled bottlegourd, salt, turmeric and sugar. Sprinkle the powdered mustard-cumin mixture.

Sprinkle a few drops of water and let the flavors mingle. Remove from heat. After it is slightly cool, add the yogurt/curds, mix well and adjust the flavors. 

Serve with roti.
