A friend of mine taught me this fairly simple typical Kashmiri speciality that enhances the taste of bottle gourd (lauki) when fried and combined with yoghurt.

Bottle Gourd Yakhni

500 grams bottle gourd peeled, cut into roundels and washed
2 teaspoon(s) cumin seeds
4 cloves
teaspoon(s) each of asafoetida and dry ginger powder
2 whole red chilli(es)
1 teaspoon(s) aniseed powder (saunf powder)

1 teaspoon garam masala powder
2 cups yoghurt beaten
2 cups water
2 tablespoons oil
salt to taste
oil for deep frying

1. Pat dry the bottle gourd roundels. Heat the oil for deep frying in a pan and fry the bottle gourd roundels till they are slightly browned. Drain and keep aside. Heat oil in another pan till very hot. Add the cloves, asafoetida and cumin seeds. Fry on medium heat for 2 minutes or till the cumin seeds are a shade darker.

2. Add the deep fried bottle gourd roundels, aniseed powder, dry ginger powder, whole red chillies, salt and water. Let it come to a boil on high flame. Reduce the flame and keep on medium / low heat for 5 minutes or till the bottle gourd roundels are tender and much of the water has evaporated.

3. Now, mix in the beaten yoghurt and stir slowly till it has fully blended with the curry. Let it boil on low heat for about 5 minutes. Mix in the garam masala powder and put off the flame.

Thanks Jas for the recipe. Fry bottle gourd? never heard that before. Looks interesting 😊

Thanks Jaz...but I think its very sweet indeed esp. with condensed milk, sugar and rock sugar. However, I could adjust it a little according to my taste buds by cutting down on the condensed milk or minus the sugar. My mum is diabetic so I am very careful......😕

Thanks again Jaz...this recipe is very interesting. I think everyone would love this including the young and old. I am sure its delicious with bread too...I know my son would love this...😃

Vani for non vegetarians like us we could also add fairly large prawns fried just like the potatoes.....of course the juices from the prawns would give a sweet taste to the dish.😛 Thus, we could have an extra treat with prawns/potatoes inserted with toothpicks too..!!👏
