Instructions: How to Make Doi Potol

• Frying the gourds

  Heat 1 tablespoon mustard oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, lightly fry the potol (pointed gourds) until the skin turns golden brown. Remove and set aside.

• Add condiments

  In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon mustard oil and temper with cumin seeds. Let them splutter.

• Saute

  Add ginger paste and green chili; sauté for 30 seconds until aromatic.
• Add turmeric powder, cumin powder, and salt. Stir and add a splash of water to prevent the spices from burning.
• Reduce heat to low and add the whisked yogurt gradually, stirring continuously to prevent curdling.
• Add the fried potol and 1/4 cup warm water. Mix gently and cover the pan. Cook for 8–10 minutes until the potol becomes soft and the gravy thickens.
• Add a pinch of sugar for balance and adjust seasoning. Simmer for another minute.
• Turn off the heat and let the curry rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.
