Ingredients

1 Tbsp Oil
1/2 Tsp Mustard Seeds
1/2 Tsp Cumin Seeds
1/8 Tsp Hing
1/3 Cup Tomatoes Finely Chopped
2 Tsp Ginger garlic Paste
1 Tbsp Cilantro Stems
1 Tsp Red Chili Powder
1 Tsp Cumin Coriander Powder
1/4 Tsp Turmeric
1 Tsp Salt
300 Gms Bottlegourd Chopped into Medium Sized Cubes
150 Gms Potatoes Chopped into Small Sized Cubes
2 Cups Water If you want rassa, if not 1 Cup will be okay.
1/2 Tsp Sugar Optional
1-2 Tbsp Cilantro Finely chopped for garnish

Instructions

Cut the bottle gourd into 1/2 inch pieces and potatoes in 1/4 inch pieces.
To a heavy bottom pot, add oil. Let it heat on medium flame.
Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and hing. Let the mustard seeds and cumin seeds crackle.
Add tomatoes, ginger garlic paste, and cilantro stems.
Add all the spices, turmeric, red chili powder, cumin-coriander powder and salt.
Cook until the tomatoes are mushy.
Now add the chopped bottle gourd and potatoes.
Add water, and let it simmer on medium flame. Add sugar to balance the tartness of the tomatoes, but this is completely optional. I only add it if the tomatoes are very sour.
Once the bottle gourd and potatoes are cooked, turn off the stove and garnish with lots of fresh cilantro.
Serve it with rice and. rotis.

Notes

Cut the bottle gourd pieces bigger than potatoes for the curry.
The bottle gourd can oxidize and turn black, so soak both potatoes and the lauki in water. Strain the water, and then add the potatoes and lauki to the curry.
Add water only if you want the curry with rassa.
Adjust the spices as per your toddler's or kids prefrences if you are making it for them .
