HOW TO CUT?
When cutting bottle gourd for this specific curry you need to first peel the skin off and discard the stem at top. By using a chopping board cut the bottle gourd in halves to make vertical slits; now combine all the vertical slit together and make horizontal slits to get cubed. Basically, you want to cut the bottle gourd in medium to large cubes because you don’t want to loose it’s shape and melt in your curry.
HOW TO STORE?
I usually store it in the fridge for a day or two uncut. However, if I pre-cut it then I usually store it in a ziplock bag for a day or two in the fridge. If I want to freeze it then I put in the ziplock bag of course I pre-cut.
THE SECRET INGREDIENT!
I think my grand mother secret ingredient is the tamarind concentrate paste. Most people don’t put tamarind concentrate paste in this curry, but I think it enhances the taste. The tamarind concentrate paste will give a mild tangy flavor.
