Am a great fan of both bottlegourds and peanuts, obviously if i get a chance to cook with these ingredients how can i hesitate a second to cook with. My today's dish is a delicious Andhra style bottlegourd curry which i crossed here long back and i bookmarked it immediately.. A lipsmacking curry to relish hot with some rice and papads, we loved this super nutty curry very much. Though the main ingredient for making this recipe is bottlegourd, both peanuts and sesame seeds paste is a must to cook this curry which turns this dish more delicious with a fantastic aroma.
Easy to prepare this curry gets ready very quickly than you can imagine. This vegan curry goes to this week's blogging marathon as am running with Special theme aka bookmarked recipes as theme.This delicious and aromatic Andhra style bottlegourd curry will definitely become your favourite, obviously dont forget to give a try if you have bottlegourd at home. Once cooled, this curry will turns thick, needless to say you can serve this curry even with rotis too.
