Chef's Notes
Ash gourd holds an immense amount of water naturally, so do not get overzealous with the liquid. Half a cup is your absolute limit unless you want a soggy soup instead of a crisp stir fry.
Pro Tip
When tempering your lentils (urad and channa dal), keep the heat moderate so they turn a nutty golden brown without burning to a bitter crisp.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you walk away from the stove during the five-minute simmer without lowering the flame, your water will vanish, the lentils will weld themselves to the bottom of the pan, and you will spend the evening scraping charcoal instead of dining like royalty.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Our royal gardener insists that using a gourd to keep away 'negative energy' is just a clever excuse to stop people from complaining about the lack of meat on their plates.
The Culinary Science
Ash gourd is roughly 96% water, which is why it collapses into a wonderfully tender texture so rapidly when covered and steamed.
