Today is the last day of the BM#5 group 2. Somehow this month’s BM has been disturbed with the Blogger being down for a while and then life caching up with various things. I haven’t been able to check on all the BM posts. I have planned to check on them this week.
Coming to the recipe today, remember the Bottle gourd Chutney that Amma’s friend made for us. She also made this dish as the main for Rotis. I have already posted a sorakaya kura which is very delicious with roits. Imagine finding another one. I am giving the proportions exactly as how aunty shared with me. But do increase the spice if you want as hubby dear felt the curry needed little more spice.
