Bottle gourd tomato curry is a tangy curry with lauki and tomato as main ingredients.
The tanginess comes from tomatoes used in the curry.
Lauki is a light vegetable generally recommended to patients as it is easy on stomach.
This is a Sattvic recipe – No onion No garlic is used.
You can have this as a comforting soup.
The soupy consistency gets perfect tang from tomatoes, smooth texture from gourds, and refreshing flavor from coriander and asafoetida.
This dish can be prepared without tomatoes also.
