A bottle gourd has its own water.
Chop it into large chunks, fill the pressure cooker and add a spoonful of salt on top.
Close the lid and cook it on low flame of the big burner of the gas stove.
After 10 mins, turn the flame high. Soon you will hear the whistle. Turn the stove off.
In the pressure cooker, you will find the cooked chunks of bottle gourd swimming in a little water.
THAT"S GREAT !!
It is the most nutritious water.
You can add a spoonful of oil heated on a pan and the cumin seeds cooked in it. Or you can add whatever spices that you like. Turmeric reduces the sweetness of the bottle gourd so I don't add it. Instead, you can also add a spoonful of sugar.
This preparation can be had with chapattis mainly.
