Ashgourd White Curry
Ashgourd is known to have lots of health benefits , etc , etc... is what i had heard ,Although i have eaten ashgourd many times at home and even in functions, at the temple lunches but never knew how to cook it nor did I like it to be honest. It was only after the birth of my elder son that I tried out all over again to like it this time . It was my Mum-in-law who had got this vegtable and I was wondering how can we make it interesting as i do not enjoy the traditional recepie with jagary , red chilli and coconut masala. My mum-in- law (mai) as i call her said lets ask my Sister-in-law,because she make a white curry with it. So there we called her up and got this recepie and made it for lunch.
The good thing about this recepie is that its not at all spicy and very healthy as there is very little coconut and oil too.
