Lot of us know tocook bottel gourd in one or two ways to make a fry or some sweet recipe. I should say this is the best recipe i had with Bottle Gourd. Once of my friends who was my roommate too cooked this when we were staying together, I just loved it in the first attempt itself. Bottel gourd with ghee and milk should be a perfect combination to mix with white rice, can also be eaten with Chapathi or roti.
