Ash gourd,another member of the gourd family,is not a very popular vegetable even among the vegetarians.Ash gourd is very widely used in south India in sambar and in north India it is known for its much loved version-the petha.Rich in fibre and flavour this modest vegetable can find a very befitting position in the every day meal.I am sharing today the vegetarian version of this recipe(as this can take a non-vegetarian form by adding prawns).This is one of my mothers recipe that I have grown up eating,and am sure will be equally loved by you.
