Stuffed Bottle Gourd Curry with Tomato Gravy

1Wash the bottle gourd (1 medium) and peel off the skin. Cut it into medium-sized pieces and scoop out the seeds to create a hollow cavity.

2In a bowl, mix the flour (1 cup) with a pinch of salt and water to form a smooth dough. Divide the dough into small balls.

3Stuff the hollow cavity of the bottle gourd (1 medium) pieces with the small dough balls.

4Heat oil in a pan and place the stuffed bottle gourd (1 medium) pieces carefully. Cook until they turn golden brown on all sides.

5In a separate pan, blend the tomatoes (2) to make a smooth puree.

6Heat some oil in a saucepan, add the tomato puree, and cook until it thickens into a gravy.

7Add the cooked stuffed bottle gourd (1 medium) pieces to the tomato gravy and simmer for a few minutes to let the flavors blend together.

8Serve the Stuffed Bottle Gourd (1 medium) Curry with Tomato Gravy hot with steamed rice or Indian bread of your choice.
