Cooking Instructions

Mash ash gourd vegetables with flat bread

Peel and cut gourd into cubes. Pressure-cook it without adding water. Mash gourd when it is cool. Keep it aside. Heat the oil and add cumin seeds, chopped onions, garlic and green chilli. Sauté till onions become soft. Add mash gourd and salt. Mix well. Fry for a further 6-8 minutes. When oil separates from ash gourd, add dry mango powder and chopped coriander leaves. Remove pan from heat. Serve hot with rice or bread.

Wash sago and soak for 15-20 minutes. Boil the milk and water in a heavy based pan. Add soaked sago and boil it for 5-10 minutes stirring continuously. Add cardamom and boil, stirring constantly for a further 2-3 minutes until the mixture has a creamy consistency and sago becomes semi transparent. Serve it hot or cold in a glass bowl.
