Turmeric Powder: a pinch
Jeera or Cumin Seeds: 1/4 Tea spoon
Methi seeds: 3 to 4 seeds

1. Wash and grate Sorekai(bottle gourd). Grate ginger and keep all the ingredients aside.
2 Cut coriander leaves, curry leaves, tomatoes and green chilly.
3: Mix besan ( channadal powder) with 1 glass of water and keep it aside.
4 Now keep a big pan on the fire. Put oil and heat. Put jeera to the hot oil and fry for 5 seconds. Add curry leaves and green chilly to it.
5. Now add grated Sorekai (bottle gourd) to the oil. Fry for 2 minutes.
6. Now add the besan mixture ( already mixed besan -water mixture) and stir nicely so that it mixes well with sorekai.
7. Add little red chilly (1/4 to 1/2 spoon) and turmeric powder and mix it well.
8. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in between so that it does not burn. Cook on low flame.
