Ingredients
1 kg bottle gourd.
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
3 cloves of chopped garlic
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp red chili powder
1/2 tsp crushed red chili
2 medium onion sliced
2 medium tomatoes chopped
3 tbsp oil
1 tsp cumin seeds

Instructions
Preparing the bottle gourd
Peel the skin of your bottle gourd with a peeler.
Cut the long bottle gourd into 4 smaller segments.
Keep a bowl of water on the side and put the segments in the water.
Take out one segment of the bottle gourd and cut it into 4 wedges (length wise).
Now the fleshy center of the gourd will be visible to you.
Check for seeds of the gourd, if they are very big, slice the central part of the gourd with all the seeds. Small seeds can stay.
Now thinly slice the gourd wedges into triangular chips.
You can do this manually with a knife.
You can also use a mandoline or a food processor with the slicer attachment to do this step. Keep putting all the sliced chips in water to prevent them from turning brown.Cooking the gourd
Add oil in a wok or a pot along with sliced onions, chopped garlic and cumin seeds at medium flame Saute the onions till they turn translucent. Add turmeric, crushed red chili and red chili powder. Saute for another 2 mins at low medium flame.
