02
Step
Ingredient Preparation
Finely chop the onion and tomato. Measure all spices and keep them within arm’s reach for a smooth cooking flow.
03
Step
Tempering
Place a heavy‑bottomed kadhai or deep skillet on medium heat. Add 2 tbsp mustard oil and let it warm until it shimmers. (Safety: Use a pot holder; oil can become very hot.)
04
Step
Tempering
Add 1 tsp cumin seeds and ½ tsp mustard seeds. When they start to crackle, swirl the pan gently to coat the seeds evenly.
05
Step
Tempering
Sprinkle ¼ tsp asafoetida (hing) and stir quickly; it releases a savory aroma that balances the gourd’s mildness.
06
Step
Sautéing Aromatics
Add the finely chopped onion to the pan. Stir continuously for 2–3 minutes until the onion turns translucent and begins to turn golden at the edges. This develops a sweet base flavour.
07
Step
Sautéing Aromatics
Stir in 1 tsp ginger‑garlic paste. Cook for another 30 seconds, watching for a fragrant sizzle. (Safety: Avoid splatter; keep a lid nearby.)
08
Step
Sautéing Aromatics
Add the chopped tomato and cook for 3–4 minutes until the tomato softens and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
