Bottle Gourd and Prawn Curry
When I lived in Bangladesh, bottle gourd and prawn curry was one of my favorites. Here is that recipe.

Ingredients
- Bottle gourd (1 medium)
- Tomato (3)
- Green chilies (2–3)
- Onion (1)
- Turmeric powder (1/2 teaspoon)
- Chili powder (1/2 teaspoon)
- Prawns (20–25)
- Salt (to taste)
Method
- First, wash the bottle gourd, peel it, and cut it into small pieces. Wash the tomatoes and cut them into small pieces too. Dust the prawns with a pinch of turmeric and shallow-fry them lightly in oil. Heat oil in a pot and add chopped onion. Then add turmeric powder, chili powder, and salt. Add the bottle gourd and tomato, pour in enough water, and cover. The gourd will soften quickly. Add the fried prawns and green chilies, stir for 2–3 minutes, and serve.
