Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Green chilies - 2, sliced
Bottle gourd cubes (1 cm) - 2 cup
Turmeric powder - ½ tsp
Salt - to taste
Lime juice - 1 tbsp
Coriander leaves to garnish

1. Heat oil in a kadai and add cumin.
2. When the cumin splutters, add green chili. Fry for few seconds.
3. Add gourd pieces, turmeric powder and salt.Cover and simmer till the vegetable is tender.
4. Open the lid and cook stirring till any excess moisture is absorbed.
5. Remove from fire, stir in the lime juice.
6. Garnish with coriander leaves.
