I used 1/2 kg spine gourds here
To a bowl of water, add spine gourds
Remove the stems and boil for 8-10 minutes
Poke the vegetables with a fork to check if they are cooked completely
They can be crushed easily with hands if they are cooked
The seeds in it also could be used for the fry
But, if the seeds in the vegetable are red, then remove them since it means the spine gourd is ripe
Heat 1 1/2 tablespoon oil in pan
Add 1 teaspoon cumin seed and fry
then Add 1 chopped onion and fry
Close lid and cook till they become transparent
Then add 2 green chillies and fry
Also add 1/2 cup curry leaves, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste and mix
then Add the spine gourd pieces and close lid for a couple of minutes
This doesn’t need to be cooked for long time since the spine gourds are already boiled
Now add 2 teaspoons chilli powder, 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon coriander seeds powder, 1 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds powder, 1 1/2 teaspoon coconut powder and mix
Then add 1 teaspoon jaggery powder
