Chef's Notes
Treat the ash gourd with respect; it absorbs flavors like a sponge, so your tamarind and jaggery balance must be exact.
Pro Tip
Never let the sambar powder boil for too long after adding it, or you will lose those delicate, earthy spice notes.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you walk away during the tempering stage, your mustard seeds will burn to a bitter crisp, and you will be crying over scorched oil while your smoke alarm serenades the entire neighborhood.

Royal Court Comedy

The Culinary Science
Ash gourd is nearly 96 percent water, which means it acts as a flavorful hydraulic vessel, soaking up the sour and sweet broth as it softens.
