uJUMP TO RECIPE

​​​For best results, use tender ridge gourd and cook it covered to retain moisture. Don't overcook after adding the sambar powder—just enough for the masala to blend. Adjust spice by increasing or decreasing the sambar mix. A splash of tamarind water can add a tangy twist. For extra flavor, add a pinch of jaggery. This curry pairs beautifully with hot rice and ghee or soft phulkas for a comforting meal.
